Israeli police raided the east Jerusalem studios of Palestine TV on Friday and briefly detained three staff for questioning, a spokeswoman said.
"Police carried out searches at the headquarters of the television channel, as part of an investigation into the content of its programmes," spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP.
"Three employees were arrested, questioned and released," she said, adding that "no programmes were interrupted and the investigation is ongoing."
Israeli public radio said police suspected Palestine TV of broadcasting "incitements to violence."
A Palestinian media report online said two cameramen and one guest on the channel's "Good Morning Jerusalem" programme were held for questioning.
In a separate crackdown on Palestinian media, Israeli soldiers raided the offices of a Palestinian newspaper in the West Bank city of Ramallah on May 28, ordering it to stop printing publications by Islamist movement Hamas, managers said.

Why do you just blame Israel for closing another country's (Palestine- not yet a country), where was the condemnation when Egypt closed down al-Jezeera in Cairo ? What is the difference?

Continuing with your stupid remarks, ibn libnan, perhaps you can inform all of us just how many Jews there are in Qatar, and how do they manage to control the Ruler, who just happens to own the TV channel.

What a disgusting person to make a comment like this.
Al Nahar should be ashamed of itself for allowing a statement like this to appear on a website it hosts. It lowers the respect that the English speaking world has for it.
