In a statement, the union said Palestinian journalists continue to face repeated arrests, administrative detention and multiple forms of violence while carrying out their work.
The union said the occupying army of the Israeli regime carried out the detentions over the past year as part of a systematic policy aimed at silencing media coverage.
Meanwhile, the union said Israeli regime authorities have continued arbitrary and administrative arrests, beatings, deportations, confiscation of equipment and forced interrogations to intimidate journalists and dismantle Palestinian national media infrastructure.
The union’s Freedoms Committee said it had exposed a dangerous arrest strategy targeting the most influential journalists, repeatedly detaining the same reporters and expanding the use of “administrative detention” without charge.
The committee said the policy also relies on physical and psychological violence as a deterrent against journalistic work.
Separately, the report documented dozens of cases in which journalists were attacked and detained while covering Zionist crimes.
The report said the tactic was aimed at “emptying the field of witnesses.”
Meanwhile, the union pointed to a rise in raids on journalists’ homes and their arrest in front of family members.
It said these actions were carried out to “break them psychologically and socially.”
The Freedoms Committee said administrative detention is the most dangerous form of targeting journalists because it turns them into prisoners of conscience without time limits.
It said the practice constitutes a flagrant violation of international law.
The Palestinian Journalists’ Union called on the United Nations and international human rights organizations to intervene immediately.
The union also urged them to hold officials of the Israeli regime accountable for crimes against Palestinian journalists.
Farah Abu Ayyash, a correspondent for Tasnim News Agency, is one of the journalists who have been held in detention in the prisons of the Zionist regime for months.
She has been interrogated and detained several times by the Israeli army, but this time she is experiencing her longest period of detention, solely on the baseless charge of publishing so-called inciting content. As a result, she has been under arrest since August 6, 2025, and has been subjected to torture and mistreatment in Israeli prisons.
