Israeli soldiers who fought in Gaza join raid on Al Jazeera offices

Israeli soldiers who recently returned from fighting in the Gaza Strip joined the raid on Al Jazeera's offices in Jerusalem on Sunday. 

Commenting on a photo of the soldiers outside the Al Jazeera offices, Shlomo Karhi, the Israeli minister of communications who led the effort to ban Al Jazeera, said on X: "Respect to our heroic warriors. No one can hurt you."

In an earlier post, Karhi said that inspectors from the Ministry of Communications, backed by police, raided the Al Jazeera offices in Jerusalem and confiscated the channel's equipment.
