IDF accused of detaining Palestinian reporter for a year without probing charges

Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was released unconditionally after approximately one year in IDF detention without being questioned about the charges—initially alleged connections to Islamic Jihad—for which he was arrested, according to CNN's weekend report. The case is one of 105 Palestinian journalists detained since October 7, 2023, with the Committee to Protect Journalists reporting that 33 remain imprisoned, mostly without formal charges.
