"Israeli" occupation forces searched and damaged properties in these offices, according to the sources.

A reporter from RT, which also has an office in the building, said that "Israeli" forces had destroyed some of the doors to the media outlets' offices in order to get inside.

Witnesses said that 10 "Israeli" army vehicles had surrounded the building in Ramallah city before raiding and searching the offices.
