THE Palestinian government condemned Israel’s forced closure of eight media offices in the West Bank yesterday.

The offices of production companies PalMedia — Russia Today’s broadcasting provider — and TransMedia were among those targeted by Israel which accuses the stations of inciting terrorism, the Wafa news agency reported.

The Quds TV headquarters in Hebron was also raided and the director of TransMedia’s Hebron office Amer Jabari was arrested, along with his brother Ismail Jabari.
