Israeli authorities have apprehended Palestinian activist Abed Abou Shhadeh without formally charging him, according to Al Jazeera. The Palestinian legal organization Adalah informed the news outlet that Israeli police conducted a search at Abou Shhadeh's residence and arrested him during the night, though no charges have been formally filed against him.
The rights group reported that the individual is currently incarcerated in a detention facility and is scheduled to appear in an Israeli court later on Wednesday. Adalah asserted that this action is not an investigation into a criminal matter, but rather a concerted effort to suppress the voices of Arab journalists and political activists.
Additionally, Wafa news agency reported that on Wednesday evening, a Palestinian man and a foreign solidarity activist sustained injuries after being physically assaulted by Israeli settlers in the village of al-Duyuk, located west of Jericho. The Palestine Red Crescent Society stated that their medical teams attended to the injured individuals and subsequently transported them to nearby hospitals.
