BBC reports from UN compound being demolished in East Jerusalem

Israeli demolition teams have begun to tear down the headquarters of the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency, known as Unrwa, in occupied East Jerusalem.

Israel says it owns the land on which the compound stands and has accused Unrwa of being infiltrated by Hamas.

Unrwa says its premises are protected under international conventions and, while it admits that nine Unrwa staff may have been involved in the 7 October Hamas-led attacks, it says Israel hasn’t proven anything more extensive than that.

The BBC’s John Sudworth reports from the site.
