Israel Arrests West Bank Reporter Rula Hassanein; 13th Palestinian Dies in Israeli Prison Since Oct. 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces arrested journalist Rula
Hassanein and raided her home overnight. She has a 9-month-old baby she
was forced to leave behind despite still breastfeeding.

In related news, a 26-year-old Palestinian Bedouin detained in an
Israeli prison died over the weekend amid reports of rampant abuse and
medical neglect in Israeli jails. Juma Abu Ghanima is at least the 13th
person to die from mistreatment in an Israeli prison since October 7.
