"Israeli soldiers raided three Palestinian
nongovernmental organizations in Ramallah before dawn on Tuesday,
seizing computers and other equipment from two of them: Addameer, which
supports Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, and the Union of
Palestinian Women Committees. The offices of the Palestinian NGO
Network, an umbrella group that assists dozens of local organizations
working in fields like health, agriculture and human rights, located in
the same building as Addameer, were also ransacked. An Israeli military
spokesman said the offices were searched because they were affiliated
with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a leftist
militant group that Israel and others classify as a terrorist organization. A spokesman for Addameer strongly denied any such links."
