A fire broke out overnight at the demolished site of the former United Nations Relief and Works Agency compound in Jerusalem, prompting the deployment of eight firefighting teams. Crews worked to contain the flames and prevent them from spreading to nearby homes in the Ma'alot Dafna neighborhood, while also searching the site for anyone who might be trapped. The compound had recently been evacuated and demolished following a government order, as part of a broader move to sever ties with the agency and transfer its property to the state. No injuries were reported, and authorities are investigating the cause of the blaze.
