Qatar-based Al Jazeera TV reported that Israeli forces stormed its bureau in the West Bank’s Ramallah city with a military order to close it for an initial period of 45 days. West Bank bureau chief Walid al-Omari read out the closure notice live on air, in front of the Israeli troops. In May, Israel raided Al Jazeera’s offices in Nazareth and occupied East Jerusalem, citing the Qatar-based broadcaster as a "threat to national security".
