Belgium accused Israel of bombing the offices of the Belgian development agency, Enabel, in Gaza.
Belgium's foreign affairs minister, Hadja Lahbib, announced that she had summoned the Israeli ambassador for clarification on the issue.
The bombing comes only days after Belgium said it would continue funding Unrwa despite unproven allegations that several employees from the agency might have known about the 7 October attacks.
"Targeting civilian buildings is unacceptable," Lahbib said in a post on X.
The Belgian minister of development, Caroline Gennez, also added her voice saying in a post on X that "attacking civilian buildings is and remains totally unacceptable".
