Israeli forces on Friday raided a TV station run by the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad in the West Bank as part of a crackdown to curb months of violence that Israel says has been fueled by incitement in the Palestinian media. In a statement, Falestine al-Youm said two other two staff members had also been arrested and that their equipment was confiscated. The raid came as Israel struggles to contain near-daily Palestinian assaults on civilians and security forces. Palestinians say it stems from anger at nearly five decades of Israeli rule in the West Bank and east Jerusalem and frustrations at not achieving statehood.
