Israeli security forces raided Al Jazeera's Ramallah bureau, sealing it off with metal plates, in acts accused by authorities of protecting soldiers and limiting coverage.
Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi stated the move against Al Jazeera was necessary to shut down a network deemed a "mouthpiece" for Israel's adversaries, reflecting growing tensions.
The Israeli Foreign Press Association expressed concern over the shutdown and restrictions on foreign journalists, calling it a departure from democratic values and a threat to press freedom.
The closure follows a troubling pattern in which Israel has previously targeted Al Jazeera's operations, indicating a strategic effort to control narratives surrounding the conflict.
