Israeli occupation forces raided yesterday the Palestinian Authority (PA) office in the West Bank in Hebron’s Old City, south of occupied Jerusalem, Quds Press reported.

Director of the Israeli Settlement and Wall Resistance Committee Younis Arar said that Israeli forces raided his committee’s two-story office.

He said that the Palestinian staff in the office challenged the Israeli occupation forces.

Speaking to Quds Press, Arar said that the raid is considered an “attack on a Palestinian institution,” noting that this is the third time Israeli authorities have raided the office since the start of 2017.

The committee affiliates to the PA ministerial council. It was established in 2003 to take part in the legal process against the Israeli separation wall in the occupied West Bank.
