Ramallah – Ma’an – The Israeli occupation authorities postponed, on Sunday, the military court trial of the journalist at the Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA), Rasha Harzallah, until December 15.

On August 11, the military occupation court extended her detention for the fifth time, until today.

It is noteworthy that the occupation intelligence had summoned colleague Harzallah on June 2, 2024, for investigation in the “Huwara” prison, and at that time her detention was extended for 72 hours, and then for five days, after which she was transferred to the “Damon” prison.
