JERUSALEM (AP) — "Israeli forces on Tuesday targeted at least two United Nations facilities, pushing forward with its crackdown against the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees tasked with delivering #humanitarian services to millions of people across the region.
"Crews began bulldozing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency ‘s offices in #SheikhJarrah and fired #TearGas at a vocational school in #Qalandia, marking Israel’s latest and most dramatic step against #UNRWA.
"Roland Friedrich, the agency’s #WestBank director, said UNRWA had received word that demolition crews and police arrived at their east Jerusalem headquarters early on Tuesday. Staff have not operated out of the facility for almost a year because of safety reasons, but Israeli forces confiscated devices and forced out the private security guards hired to protect the facility."
