Israeli forces arrested AFP contributor Mohammad Ateeq, a 34-year-old video journalist, in a nighttime raid on his home in Burqin near Jenin. The Israeli military said he was suspected of ties with Hamas, while AFP demanded an explanation and evidence or his immediate release.
One outlet so far Only The Edition has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Despite Mohammad calling out, 'I'll open!', they continued to smash the door until it was forced off its hinges. More than 10 soldiers stormed inside to search the premises, while others remained stationed outside
suspected of ties with Hamas
We demand the Israeli authorities explain clearly why he is being detained and provide evidence. Failure to do this should lead to his immediate release
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
