Israeli-Palestinian military coordination offices established as part of the 1994 Cairo Agreement (Oslo II) between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. DCOs were established in each district of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with the Israeli military office on one side of each DCO compound and the Palestinian security forces on the other. The offices aim to coordinate and monitor the movement of Palestinians in and out of and within the West Bank and Gaza. Since the Cairo Agreement, the Palestinian civilian population has been required to apply at the local DCO, working in tandem with the Israeli Civil Administration, for permits to enter Israel, or to move between Areas A, B and C in the West Bank (see Areas A, B, C). The Cairo Agreement also mandated high levels of communication between the DCOs of each side. For example, a DCO is required to immediately notify the relevant DCO of the other side in such instances as: irregular activity by the Israeli army or Palestinian police, events that pose a threat to public order, an armed attack, and the hospitalization of an Israeli in the Gaza or Jericho area or the hospitalization of a Palestinian from the Gaza or Jericho area in Israel.
