Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi stands in front of a large image of himself taken before he was detained by the Israeli army and held for a year, at his home in the northern city of Jenin, in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank on May 1, 2026. Sixty-year-old Al-Samoudi was released following one-year in detention in the Israeli Naqab Prison, located in southern Israel. He was released and checked at the Jenin Hospital where he said, "I was 120 kilogrammes; my weight now is barely 60 kilogrammes". Israel has jailed an increasing number of journalists since 2023, the year of Hamas's unprecedented October 7 attack on Israel, which responded with a devastating war in the Gaza Strip.
