JERUSALEM, Friday, December 06, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli intelligence officers today morning detained Palestine TV crew and seized their equipment in the latest attack against Palestinian media outlets in the occupied city of Jerusalem.

Nader Bibars, a producer with Palestine TV, said that Israeli intelligence officers broke into the filming scene during the broadcast of “Good Morning Jerusalem” on the Mount of Olives, and detained the show producer Dana Abu Shamsiya, cameraman Ameer Abed-Rabbu, and former prisoner Mohammad al-Abbasi, who was hosted on the show.

The intelligence officers seized the filming and broadcasting equipment.

Meanwhile, Bibars added, Israeli police detained Palestine TV reporter Christine Rinawi and cameraman Ali Yassin in the vicinity of Bab al-Amoud (Damascus Gate).

On November 20, Israeli police raided the offices of Palestine TV, among other institutions, and posted a notice issued by Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, closing the office for six months purportedly for planning to hold activities under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority.
