Israel Shuts Down Al Jazeera Bureau In West Bank


Israel has shut down the Al Jazeera bureau in the West Bank amid the Hamas War and fighting with Hezbollah.

As fighting with Hezbollah worsens, reports said that Israel yesterday raided Al Jazeera in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and ordered the satellite office to be shut for 45 days. According to the Associated Press, the Israeli military has acknowledged conducting the raid, alleging without providing evidence that the newsroom is “being used to incite terror, to support terrorist activities and that the channel’s broadcasts endanger … security and public order.” Fighting against Lebanon has ramped up in recent days since covert blasts on pagers and walkie-talkies killed a number of people and injured thousands.
