A Palestinian rights group says Israeli forces have detained a total of 108 journalists from Gaza and the occupied West Bank since the start of Gaza bombardment a year ago, Al Jazeera reports.

The Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, which is also known as Addameer, said that at least 58 journalists remain in Israeli custody, including six female journalists and 22 journalists from Gaza whose identities have been confirmed.

Addameer said at least 16 of the journalists are being held under administrative detention.

In all, more than 9,000 orders of administrative detention have been issued since October 7 last year, ranging between new orders and renewals, including orders against children and women, it added.
