Israeli forces moved into East Jerusalem early Tuesday with bulldozers to demolish the United Nations Relief and Works Agency headquarters, citing significant national security and terrorism concerns regarding the agency’s operation in the area. 

The operation, conducted under the supervision of Israeli lawmakers and government officials, follows the recent confiscation of agency devices and the forced closure of a nearby health center on Jan. 14.
