Israel Hits U.N.-Run School in Gaza

Even a US pro-Israel newspaper (which are not, anyway?) like the Washington Post has to tell this Israel attrocities although with a little twist of “self-defense”:

JERUSALEM, Jan. 6 — Israeli soldiers battling Hamas gunmen in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday fired mortar shells at a U.N.-run school where Palestinians had sought refuge from the fighting, killing at least 40 people, many of them civilians, Palestinian medical officials said.

The Israeli military said its soldiers fired in self-defense after Hamas fighters launched mortar shells from the school. The United Nations condemned the attack and called for an independent investigation.

“We are completely devastated. There is nowhere safe in Gaza,” said John Ging, head of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency in the Gaza Strip
