"They told us that it's closed now. We will stop working and nobody can go inside the office. This is the situation. It means that they extended the closure, the closure of our office, the shut down of our office in Jerusalem and banning our work inside of Israel to the West Bank. They extended to the West Bank now, which means that Al Jazeera cannot work inside Israel and inside the West Bank.
Meanwhile, significant escalations between Israel and Hezbollah as the United Nations warns of an imminent region-wide catastrophe. Residents in Haifa in northern Israel spoke of the stress and uncertainty they felt when hearing Israel's interception system hitting dozens of Hezbollah rockets that rained down.
