BREAKING: Israeli forces raided our main office in Al-Bireh today around 5 a.m., confiscating computers, laptops, and files concerning our Palestinian child detainee clients in the Israeli military courts. We were not informed of the reason for the raid. 
This is the latest act by Israeli authorities to increasingly push forward a campaign to delegitimize and criminalize Palestinian civil society and human rights organizations like @DCIPalestine.
We carry out our work in a situation of armed conflict where perpetrators of war crimes and crimes
against humanity enjoy systemic impunity and Israeli forces refuse to end serious breaches
of international law or hold perpetrators accountable.

Instead, rising conservative nationalist social forces in Israel, including government ministries and agencies, aim to silence and eliminate legitimate human rights work that exposes widespread human rights violations inherent
in Israel’s military occupation of Palestinians.

As the Israeli government becomes increasingly emboldened & acts to criminalize legitimate work by Palestinian human rights and civil society organizations, we are deeply concerned that politically motivated prosecutions in Israel’s military court system will become the norm.
The Israeli military raid on our office this morning is just one example demonstrating how Palestinian civil society is under attack.
