‘Israel’ forcibly evicts UNRWA center in occupied al-Quds
Al Mayadeen| August 26, 2026
Israeli forces began forcibly evicting the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, from its vocational training center in occupied al-Quds on Tuesday, escalating “Israel’s” campaign against the agency and its services for Palestinian refugees.
The Qalandia Training Centre, located between the Kafr Aqab neighborhood in occupied al-Quds and the Qalandia refugee camp, was established in 1952 and provides vocational training to around 340 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank each year, according to UNRWA.
The operation followed repeated warnings from the agency that Israeli authorities were preparing to target the facility.
Israeli forces enter UNRWA center in occupied al-Quds
UNRWA said Israeli forces “forcibly entered” the training center at around 10 am local time, with at least four armored vehicles and more than 50 Israeli occupation personnel entering the compound.
Around 20 UNRWA staff members were present at the facility at the time.
An AFP journalist at the scene reported that Israeli occupation forces closed the main road near the center’s entrance while forces inside moved between its buildings.
A convoy of three civilian vehicles was later seen leaving the facility under Israeli military escort.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the evacuation had begun under his directive and following legislation targeting UNRWA.
UNRWA condemns forced entry
UNRWA condemned the Israeli operation, stressing that armed forces had entered a United Nations facility without authorization.
“UNRWA unequivocally condemns this unauthorised and deeply concerning incursion,” the agency said.
It added that the “entry of armed occupation forces into a United Nations facility, without the authorisation or consent of the United Nations, is unacceptable.”
The operation directly affects a facility that has provided vocational training to Palestinians for more than seven decades.
Israeli far-right Police Minister Itamar Ben Gvir celebrated the operation, saying Israeli forces were implementing legislation to remove UNRWA from the site.
He later published an image of an Israeli flag above the entrance to the training center alongside the caption, “UNRWA in our hands.”
‘Israel’ escalates campaign against UNRWA
“Israel” has repeatedly accused UNRWA of providing cover for Hamas and alleged that its personnel carried out resistance operations alongside Hamas fighters.
Legislation severing Israeli ties with UNRWA and banning the agency from operating in Israeli territory took effect in January 2025.
However, investigations into the allegations have not substantiated “Israel’s” broader claims as presented by its officials.
A review led by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna identified “neutrality-related issues” at UNRWA but said “Israel” had not provided conclusive evidence for its central allegations.

Wikipedia 2122: The Great Covid Madness
By John Ellwood | TCW Defending Freedom | January 15, 2022
The period 2020-2022 is remembered as the Great Covid Madness.
History has witnessed many periods of mass hysteria including plagues of dancing, witch trials, alien invasion and ghostly apparitions, not to mention the Seattle Windscreen Pitting Epidemic. However, it is likely that the hysteria witnessed during the Great Covid Madness surpassed anything that had gone before or since.
The delusions included… continue
