JERUSALEM, November 10, 2026 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities renewed the closure of the Burj al-Laqlaq Community Society in Jerusalem today, Tuesday.

Local sources reported that Israeli occupation police officers raided the society’s premises in the Old City of Jerusalem and posted a closure notice on its door—the second such order—for a period of six months.

According to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem, the decision mandates the closure of all the society’s facilities, with the exception of its kindergarten.

Located in the Old City, the Burj al-Laqlaq Society is one of the most prominent community centers in Jerusalem. It offers educational, athletic, and cultural programs for children and youth, in addition to social activities and academic support courses.

Occupation forces had previously raided the society’s premises on February 17, 2026, and issued an order to close it for six months. The facility was reopened on August 13, 2026, before the occupation authorities moved to close it once again today.
