’Israelis’ Close down Second Radio Station in Al-Khalil

Local Editor

"Israeli" occupation forces raided and shut down a Palestinian radio station accused of incitement in the West Bank city of al-Khalil, 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. Then the station went offline on Saturday morning.

The enemy claimed that the "al-Khalil" radio station has repeatedly broadcasted content which promotes and encourages terror and acts of violence against the "Israelis"."

The station's Facebook page posted pictures of heavily armed Zionist forces arriving at the offices and of alleged damage.

"They took the computers, the communication equipment and everything," Haddad reported, denying his station was inciting violence.

Separately, the army arrested 16 Palestinians in the city overnight, with residents saying many of its entrances and exits were closed Saturday morning.

It is worth mentioning that the Palestinian Intifada, much of which has been focused in and around al-Khalil, has left 86 Palestinian martyrs.

Many of the martyrs were shot dead during clashes with "Israeli" forces. The bodies of most of them have been arrested by the enemy, making use of their organs before handing them back to their families.

Earlier this month, the occupation forces raided the offices of al-Hurria radio station, also in al-Khalil, forcing it to close for six months.
