On Tuesday, Israeli military forces conducted a raid on the headquarters of Al-Huda Quran Radio, located in the occupied West Bank city of Qalqilya. Accompanied by a bulldozer, a large contingent of Israeli troops entered the city before storming the radio station's offices, according to local sources.
During the operation, Israeli forces proceeded to shut down the station and seized various broadcasting equipment and other property. While the exact inventory of confiscated items remains unclear, the military posted an official notice at the entrance of the building. The notice stated that the association had been declared an "unlawful organisation" and was being closed due to its alleged involvement in and support for terrorism. It was not immediately specified how long the closure would remain in effect.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of near-daily military raids carried out by Israeli forces across towns and cities in the occupied West Bank, which frequently involve property damage and arrests. Since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023, these military operations and attacks by illegal Israeli settlers have intensified significantly across the region.
Data from Palestinian officials indicates that, since the onset of the conflict in October 2023, more than 1,182 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank. Furthermore, approximately 13,000 individuals have been injured, and nearly 24,000 people have been arrested by Israeli forces during this period.
