Israeli Army bulldozers on Thursday demolished the Palestinian television and radio broadcasting centre in Ramallah, in the West Bank, and blew up the main transmitting mast. The broadcasting centre was heavily bombed in overnight helicopter raids and the bulldozers were ploughing the last remains into the ground. Israeli army sappers then blew up the antenna used to transmit programmes across the West Bank.
Since the centre was hit on Wednesday night by Israeli retaliation strikes for a deadly West Bank attack, official Palestinian programming has been produced and broadcast from local independent stations, officials said.
