Israeli Forces Raid Al Jazeera Office in Ramallah, Order 45-Day Closure Amid Live Ammunition Fire
Sep 22, 2024, 12:51 AM
Israeli forces have stormed the Al Jazeera office in Ramallah, located in the occupied West Bank, and have ordered its closure for 45 days. The raid occurred around 3:20 a.m. local time, with heavily armed soldiers entering the building and presenting a military order for the shutdown. Al Jazeera staff were given 10 minutes to evacuate the premises. The closure comes amid heightened tensions in the region, and Al Jazeera was broadcasting live when the raid happened. The Israeli forces reportedly tore up posters of slain journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh and fired live ammunition during the operation. A court ruling was cited as the basis for the closure order.
