| [Ynet] Israeli security forces raid West Bank offices of 8 Paleostinian media, production companies working with Hamas and Islamic Jihad-affiliated TV channels; equipment was impounded and two suspects nabbed during raid; channels‐based in Gazoo, Leb‐will continue broadcasting. IDF and Shin Bet forces raided eight media and production companies providing services to Paleostinian television channels affiliated with Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, and Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... overnight Wednesday. Equipment was impounded during the raid and two suspects were incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on suspicion of incitement. The IDF served closure orders to several companies, including Pal Media, Ram Sat and Trans Media in Nablus, Hebron and Ramallah. During the raid, forces also entered the offices of the Paleostinian television channels at the buildings owned by the media companies. The companies provided services for, among others, Hamas's al-Quds and al-Aqsa channels and the Paleostine al-Youm channel affiliated with Islamic Jihad. The three aforementioned channels broadcast from Gazoo and Leb and are considered very popular among Paleostinians both in Gazoo and the West Bank. The channels did not cease operations, however, as they are based in Gazoo and Leb. The purpose of the raid was to merely shut down their physical presence in the West Bank. Thus, in a joint IDF-Shin Bet-Civil Administration operation, forces raided Paleostinian media outlets and production companies suspected of disseminating and broadcasting inciteful materials encouraging terrorism. The IDF noted this operation was part of an extended thwarting effort, as part of which security forces carry out operations against all components of terrorism, including incitement. "Security forces will continue working against incitement to terrorism out of the understanding it is a direct cause of terrorist attacks, which are inspired by it, and ground-level support of terrorism," the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said. On a related matter, IDF, Shin Bet and Border Police forces arrested 18 wanted Paleostinian suspects, 15 of whom were arrested on suspicion of involvement in street-level terrorist activity and violent rioting aimed against both civilians and security forces. |
