Israeli occupation forces have abducted at least 98 Palestinian journalists since the onset of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, confirmed the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS).

In a statement, the PPS pointed out that 52 of these journalists remain in Israeli prisons and detention centers across the occupied Palestinian territories.

Among those detained, 15 journalists, including six women, are being held under administrative detention, which permits Israeli authorities to hold and extend a prisoner's detention indefinitely without charge or trial, according to the statement.

The organization also highlighted that journalists Nidal al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdelwahid from Gaza have been subjected to enforced disappearance, with no information available about their whereabouts or conditions.

In a related statement, the Committee to Protect Journalists said the Israeli occupation is suppressing media freedom by detaining Palestinian journalists.

"Since October 7, Israel has been arresting Palestinian journalists in record numbers and using administrative detention to keep them behind bars, thus depriving the region not only of much needed information, but also of Palestinian voices on the conflict," the Committee stated.

The statement highlighted that the Israeli war on Gaza has become "the bloodiest for journalists" since the Committee began tracking journalist fatalities worldwide in 1992.

UN experts have previously expressed concern over "the extraordinarily high numbers of journalists and media workers who have been killed, attacked, injured and detained in the Occupied Palestinian Territory."

Since October 7, "Israel" has killed at least 170 journalists in the Gaza Strip in an attempt to conceal its broadcast massacres against the Palestinian people before the world.
