Israeli snipers were also deployed around the entrances to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.<\/p>\n
The hospital is the largest government medical facility in the West Bank.<\/p>\n
Reporting from Ramallah, Al Jazeera\u2019s Nida Ibrahim said Israeli forces were confiscating equipment belonging to Addameer, an NGO that focuses on prisoner rights.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsraeli forces have been raiding one of the compounds that belong to Addameer. The NGO has been closed before by the Israeli forces. It has been deemed by the Israeli army and establishment as a terrorist organisation,\u201d Ibrahim said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a daylight raid that is happening in the centre of Ramallah, causing a lot of panic. Palestinians [currently] have children at school. Others have [relatives] at work. People are worried because they know Israeli forces can open fire on them. Earlier, that happened: Israeli forces fired stun grenades at journalists covering this raid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al Jazeera Arabic also reported that a journalist was injured after Israeli forces fired tear gas during the attacks.<\/p>\n
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that a child was injured by Israeli live ammunition and several others had suffered from suffocation due to the ongoing raids in Ramallah and el-Bireh.<\/p>\n
The raid on the NGOs is the latest act in an Israeli campaign of aggression against Palestinian civil society organisations.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Israel designated six Palestinian organisations, including Addameer and the Union of Palestinian Women\u2019s Committees, as \u201cterrorist\u201d organisations.<\/p>\n
At the time, the Israeli Ministry of Defence claimed that the organisations used activism as a cover but \u201cin practice belong and constitute an arm of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the main activity of which is the \u2018liberation of Palestine\u2019 and destruction of Israel\u201d.<\/p>\n
Founded in 1991, Addameer works to support Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli and Palestinian prisons, offering free legal aid and advocating their rights at the national and international level, according to its mission statement.<\/p>\n
The Union of Palestinian Women\u2019s Committees was founded in 1980 to empower Palestinian women on all levels and to \u201ccontribute to the Palestinian national struggle against the Israeli military\u2019s illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories\u201d, according to its Facebook page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Snipers have been deployed outside entrances to the Palestine Medical Complex, Wafa reported.
