Israeli soldiers raided a Palestinian television station in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday and seized broadcast equipment, computers and files, an employee said.
Ahmed Milhem said soldiers gave no reason for the raid on privately-owned Watan TV in Ramallah, which began at 0200 a.m. (1200 GMT) and lasted for three hours.
"They seized computers, broadcast equipment and administrative files," Milhem told Reuters by telephone. "The station is now off the air," he added.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she had no initial information but was checking for details.
The television station is owned by local non-governmental organizations and broadcasts local news and cultural and political programs over the Internet.
No, not the raid itself.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said she had no initial information but was checking for details.

If so, the army should have alerted the spokesperson sho she shouldn't be uninformed and worse, appear as a klutz.
