"Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi, who has been imprisoned by Israel for almost a year, is now at risk of dying, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has warned. Al-Samoudi, 59, was one of the journalists with Al Jazeera's Shireen Abu Akleh when she was fatally shot in the head by an Israeli sniper in Jenin, the occupied West Bank, in May 2022."
"He was arrested by Israeli forces in April last year during an early morning raid on his son's home in Jenin on charges of allegedly transferring funds to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which Israel considers a terrorist organisation. Israel later said it found no sufficient evidence against him, however. Since May 2025, al-Samoudi, who was also injured by gunfire when Abu Akleh was killed, has been under arbitrary detention."
Ali al-Samoudi, 59, is a Palestinian journalist who worked with Al Jazeera and was present when Shireen Abu Akleh was fatally shot in May 2022; he was also injured by gunfire during that incident. Israeli forces arrested him in an early morning raid on his son's home in Jenin on charges of allegedly transferring funds to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Israel later said it found insufficient evidence. He was held in a military barracks in Jenin, transferred to Jalameh detention centre near Haifa, and later to Megiddo prison. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate says he has not been granted a fair trial, is experiencing harsh and inhumane treatment in prison, and that his life is now at risk.
