"It was a show of force, a show of intimidation to show journalists around the globe that what's happening in Gaza and the West Bank isn't allowed to be reported," Al Jazeera managing editor Mohamed Moawad tells Democracy Now!
"Press freedom groups are condemning the Israeli military for raiding and shutting down Al Jazeera's Ramallah office in the occupied West Bank. The raid was broadcast live on TV Sunday morning."
"Heavily armed Israeli troops were seen entering the office and confiscating equipment while ordering the office closed for at least 45 days."
"The raid was broadcast live on TV Sunday morning. Israeli forces have killed as many as 160 journalists in Gaza over the last year, including several who work for Al Jazeera."
