Israeli forces raided the Qalandiya Training Centre, located in the Kafr Aqab neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem. During the operation, they reportedly seized control of the facility, which is associated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Footage from the scene depicted a Palestinian boy being shot during the raid, raising concerns among observers about the ongoing violence during such operations. Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly celebrated the raid and the raising of the Israeli flag at the site.

In response to the incursion, Malaysia condemned the actions of Israeli forces, characterizing the seizure as a forceful incursion into a UN-operated facility. These developments have sparked discussions regarding the ongoing conflict and the treatment of UN-operated institutions in the region.
