Israeli soldiers raided early Tuesday the offices of three non-governmental organizations in the West Bank city of Ramallah, seizing computers and files, staff members said, dpa reported.

The Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights organization said in a statement that soldiers raided its Ramallah headquarters at around 3 am (0100 GMT) and seized four laptops, one hard disk and a video camera.

The soldiers ransacked the office and files were left scattered around, Addameer said.

Israel also raided the premises of the Palestinian NGO Network, an umbrella group of several organizations opposed to Israeli settlements on West Bank land.

An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said he was checking the report.
