IDF denies damaging UNRWA office in West Bank, says terror operatives detonated bomb in area

The IDF issues a statement denying responsibility for damaging UNRWA’s office in the West Bank camp of Nur Shams, saying the damage was caused by Palestinian terror operatives.

“The claim that the UNRWA offices in Nur Shams were destroyed by IDF soldiers is false,” the statement reads.

“Terrorists planted explosives in the proximity of the UNRWA offices that were then detonated in an attempt to harm IDF soldiers. The explosives likely caused damage to the structure,” the IDF statement adds.
