GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli warplanes targeted offices belonging to the al-Aqsa TV station early Tuesday, a Palestinian media group said.
The Palestinian Journalist Bloc said in a statement Israeli forces struck the Hamas-affiliated station's offices in the al-Nasser neighborhood, the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, and the al-Rimal neighborhoods of Gaza City.
Al-Aqsa's broadcast stopped briefly after the strike on the al-Rimal neighborhood, although no injuries were reported.
The Bloc condemned what it called "crimes against journalists and media."
Hamas' station plays a "central role in managing the media battle against the Israeli lies," the Bloc said.
It said al-Aqsa channel was crucial for providing information on the ground in Gaza to several other Arabic media organizations.
The Israeli army confirmed the strikes on al-Aqsa's offices in an emailed statement. more
