Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Gunmen Raid Pro-Fatah TV Station in Gaza

HeadlineJun 06, 2006

In Gaza, dozens of gunmen connected to Hamas stormed the studios of Palestine Television on Monday. The gunmen smashed equipment and accused the station of favoring Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah faction.

  • Lana Shaheen, manager of the station: “We today are shocked by those gunmen wearing Izz al-Deen al-Qassam (one of Hamas’ militant groups) uniforms, attacking the Palestine TV station at Khan Younis governorate and threatening to kill the Palestinian TV cadre (employees) as well as destroying our equipment. We the employees of Palestine TV condemn and denounce this criminal act and the irresponsible statements by a number of other factions”
