One UN international staff member is killed in the bombing and five people are injured. “I want to stress this point: These premises were well known by the Israel Defense Forces and they were deconflicted," says Jorge Moreira da Silva, executive director of UNOPS, during a press conference in Brussels. "This means that everyone knew who was working inside the premises. It was UN personnel, UNOPS."
