When the troops arrived at Break&#8217;s apartment, they ordered his family to leave and took Break to the first floor, which houses Sanabel TV&#8217;s office. After about two hours of questioning, the soldiers seized computers and other equipment and left with Break, the eyewitness said. Break was taken to Israel&#8217;s Hawara detention center south of Nablus where he remains held without charge, according to CPJ sources.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are troubled by the raid of the Sanabel TV offices and the detention of Nabegh Break, who is being held without charge,&#8221; CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said. &#8220;The Israeli army should release him immediately.&#8221; <strong> [<a href=\"http:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/v2\/article6608.shtml\">Continue reading<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Video: Nablus Invasion, Day 4<br \/>\nVideo, Research Journalism Initiative and A-Films, <a href=\"http:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/v2\/article6615.shtml\">1 March 2007<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"http:\/\/electronicintifada.net\/v2\/article6615.shtml\">00:52<\/a>]<\/strong> &#8220;While filming medical relief volunteers delivering medication to stranded residents, three soldiers accosted this cameraman.
