Israeli police have detained the Jerusalem bureau chief of the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera twice in two days. Walid Al Omari was first detained on Sunday along with his Israeli TV crew while reporting on an Hizbullah attack on Haifa. Military censorship rules ban real-time reporting on the exact location of rocket hits. The following day Al Omari was arrested near Akka and released after interrogation. The press freedom body, Reporters Without Borders has complained of harassment of broadcasters inside Israel. (Via jpost.com)
