RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces raided three civil society organizations in Ramallah early Tuesday, a Ma'an correspondent said.
Soldiers raided the offices of the Agricultural Work Committees, prisoners group Addameer, and the Union of Palestinian Women's Committees, located in Qaddura refugee camp.
Four laptops, one hard disk and a video camera were taken from Addameer's office, a statement from the group said. It is the first time the prisoners group has been raided since 2002, during the height of the second Palestinian intifada.
Israeli forces confiscated files and computer hardware from the women's committee before ransacking the office, witnesses said.
During the raid, clashes broke out with local youths and Israeli soldiers, who responded by firing tear gas.
Military forces also raided the offices of the Palestinian NGO Network, Ma'an's reporter said. more
