Israeli occupation authorities on Thursday extended the remand of four Palestinian journalists who were recently arrested by the Israeli forces in the West Bank.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) Israel’s Ofer military court extended the detention of hunger striker Alaa Rimawi Mohammad Alwan Qutaiba Hamdan and Husni Injas by seven days for further interrogation.
The four journalists were arrested by the occupation forces on July 30.
Meanwhile prisoner Nizar Shahada 50 underwent cardiac catheterization at the Israeli Barzilai Hospital after his health status took a turn for the worse at the Ashkelon detention center.
The detainee is expected to be returned to Ashkelon jail sometime later.
Shahada was re-arrested by the Israeli military on July 24 2018.
