Israeli police and intelligence officers on Thursday evening stormed the headquarters of the African Community in the Old City of Jerusalem and prevented the holding of a charitable winter event for children.
The event was organized by a Palestinian charity called “Volunteer for Hope” and intended to provide children with winter clothes and gifts, and carry out different activities in a small festival.

“Tens of people were requested to come for investigation in the upcoming days, clothes and gifts were confiscated by soldiers and everyone was kicked out, including the children,” the charity said.
