The Israeli army has raided and closed the bureau of media network Al Jazeera in the occupied West Bank. The Qatari broadcaster aired footage of heavily armed and masked troops entering their premises in Ramallah. Israel has ordered a 45-day shutdown. Four months ago, Israel closed the channel's offices in the East Jerusalem. The Board of the Foreign Press Association in Israel and the Palestinian Territories has condemned the raid, saying "it signals a shift away from democratic values".
