Israel occupying East Jerusalem UNRWA centre for second day

Live Blog Update| War on Iran 26 August 2026 10:54 BST Israel has continued to occupy an UNRWA centre in East Jerusalem for a second day, with local news outlet Wafa saying soldiers raised the Israeli flag outside the facility. The Jerusalem Governorate said Israeli municipal technical crews had entered the institute and began “maintenance and renovation” work inside its buildings, preparing it to receive Israeli students. The seizure of the building on Tuesday was condemned by the UN, who said the move "strikes at the ability of the United Nations to carry out its mandate.”
