Israel Demolishes UNRWA Headquarters and Targets Facilities in East Jerusalem

Israeli forces began demolishing the East Jerusalem headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), citing a new law banning the agency's operations in Israeli territory. UNRWA condemned the demolitions and tear gas attacks on its vocational school as violations of international law and threats to humanitarian services for millions of Palestinian refugees. Israel accuses UNRWA of ties to Hamas, which the agency denies. The actions mark a significant escalation in Israel's campaign against UNRWA amid ongoing regional tensions.
