IDF: Hamas Rockets May Have Hit UNRWA School, Killing 15
(Ha'aretz) Gili Cohen - The source of an attack on a UN-run school in Gaza on Thursday remains unclear and the IDF is investigating the matter. An IDF source said that army representatives made contact with UNRWA and the Red Cross over the past few days to inform them that troops were shot at from near the school, and that the IDF would return fire toward the source of the shooting, which was located near the school. The IDF stated that Hamas rockets had landed in the Beit Hanoun area during fighting with its forces, and that those rockets may be responsible for the deaths. Likewise, despite repeated warnings and appeals to international authorities to remove civilians from these areas of fighting, they were not evacuated.
