Israeli forces raided and shut down a Palestinian radio station accused of incitement in the West Bank city of Hebron, the army said Saturday, in the second such case this month. Soldiers entered the offices of Al-Khalil radio overnight and handed the station a six-month order to close, said Ezz Haddad, its head of programming.
"Al-Khalil radio station has repeatedly broadcast content which promotes and encourages terror and acts of violence against Israeli civilians and security forces," the army said in a statement. The station's Facebook page posted pictures of heavily armed Israeli forces arriving at the offices and of alleged damage. "They took the computers, the communication equipment, everything," Haddad told AFP, denying his station was inciting violence. The station was offline on Saturday morning.
