Yesh Din ( Hebrew יש דין) is an Israeli human rights organization in Tel Aviv-Jaffa that provides legal assistance to Palestinians from the occupied territories . The name means “there is law” in Hebrew. The organization was founded in March 2005.

Jesch Din is reviewing IDF investigations into alleged crimes committed by the Israeli army and Israeli settlers.

After the Gaza war of 2008–2009 , the organization criticized an unofficial brochure that an officer had distributed to Israeli soldiers. The brochure called for “to have no mercy on the enemy”. The army announced that the officer had been severely punished.

Jesch Din’s sponsors include the European Commission , the Dutch and Irish Foreign Ministries and Oxfam- Novib.

One of the organization's best-known activists is Dror Etkes, who grew up in French Hill and was a soldier in the West Bank.
