    Al Jazeera’s live coverage a few minutes ago posted an update saying:

    The closure order was signed after a legal opinion and intelligence assessment “determined that the offices were being used to incite terror, to support terrorist activities and that the channel’s broadcasts endanger the security and public order in both the area and the State of Israel as a whole,” a military statement said.

    In some sense it is true that the broadcasts endanger the state of Israel: in the sense that accurately showing the atrocities Israel commits weakens global support for European and American colonization of the Middle East.
