An Israeli military court has extended the detention of journalist Haneen Qawareeq, 24, on suspicion of “incitement” on social media until Thursday, Al Jazeera reports.

Qawareeq, who is from Nablus in the occupied West Bank, was detained on May 7, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society said.

She was sent to Hasharon Prison before being transferred to Damon Prison, where she is currently being held without any formal charges against her.

Qawareeq is among more than 180 Palestinian journalists detained by the Israeli military since the start of the bombardment on Gaza, with some 50 still imprisoned, according to the monitors.
