wired.it (Italian)

Israel demolished the UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem. The building, no longer operational since early 2025 due to Israeli restrictions, maintained UN status. Hours later, Israeli police raided a UN vocational school in the same city. The UNRWA, established in 1949 to provide aid to Palestinian refugees, has been targeted by Israel with accusations of Hamas ties, which the ICJ has disputed. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the demolition, calling it a violation of international law and a warning to other international organizations.
