Global news channel Al Jazeera said Israeli forces raided its office in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Sunday and issued a 45-day closure order. It was the latest salvo in a long-running feud between the Arab broadcaster and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government which has worsened during the war in Gaza. Since the war began on October 7 when Hamas Palestinian militants attacked Israel, Al Jazeera has aired continuous on-the-ground reporting on the effects of Israel's campaign. Previously, Hezbollah targeted base near Haifa after Israeli strike in Beirut killed 37, including top commander. Later, Israel responded by attacking Hezbollah targets.
