Al-Quds TV ( Arabic: قناة القدس) was a satellite television channel broadcast on Nilesat and Arabsat. It broadcast from November 11, 2008 [1] to 10 February 2019. [2]
The channel was affiliated with Hamas [3] [4] and maintained a pro-Hamas editorial position. [2] [5] [6] Much of the channel's programming focused on statements and activities from Hamas and Islamic Jihad and criticism of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority. [2]
On November 18, 2012, during Operation Pillar of Cloud, Israel bombed the Al-Quds TV station in Gaza, injuring three staff. [7]
Israel designated Al-Quds TV as a terrorist organization in July 2018. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman accused the channel of serving as a "propaganda arm of Hamas". [2]
On 10 February 2019, Al-Quds TV halted operations and closed its offices in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip due to financial issues. Salaries for its 150 employees had not been paid for months. [2] [3]
