Dozens of Israeli police officers entered Shuafat Refugee Camp in Jerusalem over the past hour, broadcasting a message via loudspeaker stating: "Residents of Shuafat RC, this is Captain Hilal. We've come to you for a visit. Whoever wants to meet me will come to me. Whoever wags their tail, we'll cut it off," according to an X post. The X post attributed the incursion to forces linked to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, claiming officers looted, abducted residents, brutalized individuals and vandalized property during what it described as a photo-op in the middle of the camp. The report was posted during the 59-minute reporting window ending at 7:15 a.m. UTC on Jan. 15, 2026. No official statements from Israeli authorities or police confirming the details or purpose of the entry were available in the sources reviewed for this period.
