Israeli occupation forces broke into the office of Hamas MP Emad Nofal in Qalqilia city and confiscated his computers and official documents.

Nofal said that a number of IOF patrols surrounded his office in a pre-dawn raid on Wednesday before breaking its front door and wreaking havoc inside it.

He said that all computers and papers were taken, charging the Israeli occupation authority with attempting to disrupt the Palestinian legislature.

The international campaign to release detained Palestinian lawmakers in Israeli jails denounced the step in a statement on Wednesday.

The Gaza-based campaign described the Israeli practice as a “rabid campaign” against the Palestinian legislative council at a time attempts were progressing to revitalize its role.

It urged Egypt to pressure Israel into desisting from further acts and to respect the parliamentary immunity of those lawmakers.
