An Israeli military court extended the detention of Rasha Herzallah, 39, until June 24 for alleged incitement on social media platforms, Al Jazeera reports.

According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Commission for Detainees’ Affairs, Israeli authorities detained the journalist from Nablus and interrogated her on June 2, and placed her under administrative detention – without charge or a trial.

The groups said the number of Palestinian women in Israeli prisons is 74, with many of them detained since October 7 for alleged “incitement against Israel” on social media platforms.

According to Women In Journalism, an advocacy and support organisation, Herzallah joins more than 40 journalists currently in Israeli prisons.
