Jerusalem: Israeli occupation forces Thursday raided the home of the head of the National Music Institute and Chairman of the Board of Yabous Cultural Center, Suhail Khoury, coinciding with a raid on the center in occupied Jerusalem. The forces issued an order summoning Khoury for questioning today at the Al-Muskobiya Investigation Center in occupied Jerusalem.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the incident marks an ongoing tension in the region, as cultural and educational leaders like Khoury are increasingly targeted. The simultaneous raid on Khoury's residence and the Yabous Cultural Center has raised concerns among cultural organizations and human rights advocates about the implications for freedom of cultural expression in the occupied territories.
