After damaging and stealing their belongings, the occupation forces closed the six human rights institutions and installed iron plates on their gates, with the United Nations and several EU countries condemning the Israeli decision.

The Israeli occupation had labeled six of the organizations as "terrorist" in October, claiming they had ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
