  "account": "Israeli forces conducted a raid on the Qalandiya Training Centre, a significant facility run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem's Kafr Aqab neighborhood. This occurred prior to Tuesday's raid, during which Israeli forces blocked the Qalandiya checkpoint, the main Israeli checkpoint linking East Jerusalem with the northern West Bank. The surrounding neighborhoods and Qalandiya refugee camp in the West Bank received intense military presence. All UNRWA personnel were compelled to leave the premises by soldiers, prohibiting their return. Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir took part in the operation, expressing satisfaction and stating that the agency has no place in Jerusalem and Israel. Ben-Gvir also shared the news on X, declaring, \"UNRWA in our hands.\" UNRWA promptly denounced the unauthorized and deeply troubling intrusion, calling it \"unacceptable\" and urging the international community to swiftly condemn the violation.",
