In a significant escalation, Israeli troops seized control of a UNRWA vocational training center in Kafr 'Aqab, an eastern suburb of Jerusalem, on Tuesday. This move has sparked outrage from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
The Qalandia center, which has been operational since 1952, provides vocational training to approximately 340 Palestinians annually. The raid follows UNRWA's recent warnings about threats to the facility, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding Palestinian support services.
