Can You Trust the Media?

The Guardian, sourcing CPJ, reports that

Samer Allawi, Al-Jazeera's Kabul bureau chief, is unde arrested in Israel. He was detained last Tuesday after crossing the border between Jordan and the West Bank at the conclusion of a three-week vacation in his home town near Nablus.


The Israeli authorities originally informed Allawi's family that he would be held for four days for questioning, saying that it was a "security-related arrest."

Last Thursday, the authorities told Al-Jazeera that Allawi's detention would be extended to eight days.

Er, "He was detained last Tuesday after crossing the border between Jordan and the West Bank"?

If he crossed over to Jordan, how is he being held by Israel?
