Israel Detains U.S. Journalist Jeremy Loffredo, Charged with Aiding Enemy Over Mossad HQ Report
Oct 11, 2024, 02:44 PM
American journalist Jeremy Loffredo has been detained by Israeli authorities on charges of "aiding the enemy during wartime and providing information to the enemy" following his reporting on Iranian missile strikes that hit Israeli military and intelligence sites, including the Mossad headquarters, earlier this month. Loffredo, a reporter for The Grayzone News, was arrested along with other journalists after documenting damage from Iran's retaliatory attack. He was held for four days, during which he was reportedly beaten and mistreated, and faces potential life imprisonment or even the death penalty if convicted of endangering national security. A district court has ordered his release on bail, but he is barred from leaving Israel for nine days as authorities continue their investigation. The U.S. State Department has remained silent on his arrest, prompting criticism from press freedom advocates concerned about press freedom and the safety of journalists reporting in conflict zones.
