IDF: Hamas Staged Gaza War Incident Involving Claim of Civilian Casualties
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - During the Gaza war, the Palestinians said 15 civilians had died during the IDF's shelling of a school. Brig. Gen. Nadav Padan, commander of the 162nd Division that fought in Gaza, says the building in fact was not hit, and that Hamas staged the incident with casualties from another area. "Hamas regularly used schools and UNRWA storage facilities. Squads of combatants emerged from these buildings, shot at our forces and went back inside," Padan says.
