Israeli army raids Palestinian charity in Nablus, orders year-long closure
Israeli military forces raided the headquarters of the Solidarity Charity Association in the occupied West Bank’s Nablus on Tuesday, declaring the organisation closed for a year, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
According to local residents, military vehicles and trucks stormed the Balata and Askar refugee camps east of Nablus before troops broke into the charity's offices and vandalised the building for more than two hours.
Israeli troops eventually sealed the entrance to the building and posted a military order declaring the association, also known as the Al-Tadamon Charitable Society, shut down on allegations of "supporting terrorism."
A military cordon remains in place around the neighbourhood as the raid continues.
