The Israeli military has stormed Al Jazeera's office in Ramallah, ordering its closure without providing a clear reason. The office director, Walid Al-Omari, received an ambiguous military order and suspects incitement by Israeli officials.
The soldiers also destroyed a photograph of the late correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh. This incident follows previous closures of Al Jazeera offices in Israel, forcing staff to relocate to the West Bank.
In Gaza, Israeli airstrikes have killed three Al Jazeera employees. The closure order for the Ramallah bureau is set for 45 days, reflecting the broader campaign against the broadcaster by the Israeli government.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has labeled Al Jazeera a 'mouthpiece' for Hamas, and a new law facilitates the closure of media offices and blocking of online content. Press freedom advocates criticize these actions as violations of the right to information.
