Israeli occupation forces closed a school run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday.

The Jerusalem Governorate reported that an Israeli force stormed the Al-Quds Basic Boys' School, which is operated by UNRWA in the Wadi al-Joz neighborhood of Jerusalem. The forces forced staff to close the school doors after evacuating the students.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued an order on Monday for the immediate implementation of laws targeting the operations of UNRWA.

On October 28, 2024, the Knesset passed two laws, the first of which bans UNRWA's activities in areas under "Israeli sovereignty," while the second prohibits any contact with the agency.
