The "Israeli" occupation forces raided Palestinian media offices in the occupied West Bank overnight in what a military spokeswoman Wednesday claimed is a "large-scale operation" against incitement.

’Israeli’ Forces Raid Palestinian Media Firms

The raids came hours after the Zionist government declared that it would not deal with an emerging Palestinian unity government that includes Hamas movement unless it makes radical changes.

A Palestinian journalists' union official in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil said that the offices of three companies providing production services to Hamas television were closed and equipment and documents seized.

They were named as Palmedia, Ramsat and Transmedia, a satellite broadcasting facility where two members of staff were arrested, the union official said.

Meanwhile, Zionist media said that a total of eight media firms were raided overnight, including in Ramallah and Bethlehem, with the ‘Israeli' occupation army not confirming those reports.

Palmedia offices in the northern West Bank city of Nablus were also sealed, an AFP photographer reported.

For her part, the ‘Israeli' military spokeswoman claimed that security forces "searched a number of media and production offices suspected of broadcasting inciting content."

"During the large-scale operation, media stations such as Ramsat and Transmedia were closed," she added.

"In addition forces seized equipment and documents from media companies that provided services to Al Aqsa and Al Quds -- TV channels."

She did not say how many offices were closed or give any details of the alleged incitement.

‘Israeli' public radio said that the troops posted military orders on the office walls closing the premises for six months.
