The Israeli occupation forces raided the headquarters of the Beit Ummar Association for Orphan Care, north of Hebron, on Thursday morning, closed some of its offices, and seized the association’s furniture and files, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

The association’s director, Youssef Abu Maria, told WAFA that Israeli forces stormed the association’s headquarters in Beit Ummar, searched it, tampered with its contents, and seized all of the association’s files.

Moreover, the occupation soldiers seized all electrical appliances and computers, before sealing the doors of some offices with metal sheets.

Abu Maria added that the association provides services to approximately 200 orphan children, in addition to 470 students who attend the association’s school.

In parallel with the war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army escalated its incursions into cities, towns and refugee camps throughout the occupied West Bank.
