IDF soldiers accompanied by agents of the Civil Administration during the night of 21 Cheshvan (Monday to Tuesday), raided the Hamas operated el-Huriyeh radio station in an area of PA (Palestinian Authority) occupied Hebron. The station was shut due to its continuous incitement against Israel.

The IDF confiscated equipment being used to broadcast calls to attack Israelis.

The station’s director, Ayman Qawasmeh, said IDF troops raided the station after 2 a.m. destroyed equipment and confiscated transmitters.

“This is a clear violent aggression on the Palestinian media,” he said. “We didn’t incite, we just reported the Israeli daily crimes against our people in Hebron. They want to silence our voice.”

The raid came hours after another PA resident of Hebron perpetrated a terror attack in Rishon L’Tzion on Monday, 20 Cheshvan. Hebron residents have been responsible for many of the attacks against Israelis in the ongoing wave of Islamic terror.
