Israeli forces raid Palestinian groups and hospital grounds in Ramallah
Israeli forces raided two Palestinian organisations in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.
The groups were the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees and Addameer, which supports prisoners and works on human rights.
Forces also entered the courtyard of the Palestine Medical Complex, the West Bank’s largest government medical facility.
Snipers were reported near the hospital entrances, while equipment belonging to Addameer was being confiscated.
The raid took place in central Ramallah during the day and caused panic among residents, according to a journalist reporting from the city.

What people are saying
This 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.
The NGO has been closed before by the Israeli forces. It has been deemed by the Israeli army and establishment as a terrorist organisation.
