The Israeli military raided a Palestinian radio station today and confiscated equipment used to broadcast calls to attack Israelis.
The military says it shut down the Al Hurria radio station in Hebron. It says the station had been inciting violence in the volatile West Bank city.
Israel says the current spate of violence has been set off by a Palestinian campaign of lies and incitement surrounding a sensitive Jerusalem holy site. The Palestinians counter it is a result of frustration from nearly a half-century of occupation.
Eleven Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings. Sixty-nine Palestinians have died by Israeli fire, including 43 who Israel says were involved in attacks or attempted attacks.
The military says Al Hurria has encouraged stabbings and glorified the attackers.
