The Israeli occupation forces, on Friday, destroyed the office of Palestine Today, an Arabic-speaking Palestinian TV channel, in Suhad Tower, in Gaza City. The attack also destroyed broadcast vehicles that belonged to the channel.

In this context, the Al Mayadeen Media Network issued a statement condemning this deliberate attack, and expressed its absolute solidarity with Palestine Today including "all its members, correspondents, and administrative team."

Al Mayadeen considered the attack as "evidence of the pathological Israeli sadism and hysteria as a result of its abject failure to confront the national Palestinian media in general, and the Resistance media in particular."

Moreover, in its message, Al Mayadeen noted that this aggression proves that Palestine Today TV possesses great competence in terms of "professionalism, patriotism, and strength in conveying reality and Resisting the brutal war of aggression," stressing that what happened is "a new badge on the chest of this leading channel in all of Palestine."

In its statement, Al Mayadeen also called on the Arab and international media circles to launch a campaign of solidarity with Palestine Today TV and its journalists, and to "demonstrate the Israeli nature hostile to free media despite all the fraudulent global marketing campaigns."
