In June 2014, Israel added Islamic Relief to a list of organisations banned from operating in Israel, for allegedly funding Hamas. The charity's West Bank offices were raided and their computers were destroyed, files were confiscated, and an office safe was forcibly opened.. In late 2014, Islamic Relief claimed that an audit carried out by an unnamed "leading global audit firm" found no evidence of any link to terrorism. The Israeli government responded by claiming its decision to declare Islamic Relief illegal was "based on information that has been accumulated over years, that the fund is a central player in financing of Hamas". The organisation has challenged the decision in the Israeli courts.
