Israeli soldiers arrest Al Jazeera journalist in Hebron raids

Israeli forces have arrested Al Jazeera Arabic’s correspondent Montaser Nassar in a raid on his home in the occupied West Bank.

Nassar was arrested early on Tuesday at his home in Dura, near the city of Hebron.

Video of the arrest shows Israeli forces leading Nassar, who was blindfolded and handcuffed, into a military vehicle.

Nassar was among more than 13 Palestinians detained in Dura on Tuesday, according to sources. All were taken to an undisclosed location.

Israeli forces had previously assaulted Nassar and his cameraman in Dura on December 29, 2023. The beating came without any warning and caused bruising.
