"Israeli forces arrested journalist Dr Nasser Laham after storming his home in Bethlehem. His home was entirely ransacked and electronic devices and mobile phones were confiscated," a message posted on his Meta page said.
Laham also serves as the manager of the Lebanese channel Al-Mayadeen's offices in the West Bank.
He is expected to be brought to Ofer military court on Thursday for a hearing on the extension of his detention, according to Haaretz.
