Israel attacks UN school sheltering Palestinians in Gaza
2014-07-23
[Iran Press TV] Israeli forces have attacked a UN school sheltering displaced Paleostinians against the Israeli offensive in the besieged Gazoo Strip.
Is that the second school where the UN discovered missiles were being stored?
On Tuesday, Israel's tanks shelled the school belonging to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees (UNRWA) in al-Maghazi, located in central Gazoo, an official said on condition of anonymity.

The school had also come under fire on Monday.

"Yesterday we got reports that it was shelled and so today we sent our guys down to investigate and see which side the fire came from," the official said, adding, "They went down there with Israeli clearance, and while they were there, they came under Israeli shelling,"

There were holes blown through the walls of the school while its gates were blown off, said the UNRWA official.

UNRWA, which is sheltering more than 100,000 people at more than 60 of its schools in Gazoo, submitted a formal letter regarding the attack to the Israeli regime after evacuating the school.

Meanwhile,
...back at the comedy club, Boogie ducked another tomato...
Jens Laerke, front man of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said at a presser in Geneva that tens of thousands of Gazook kids were in need of treatment for the trauma they have experienced.

"According to an assessment by aid workers on the ground, at least 107,000 children need psycho-social support for the trauma they are experiencing such as death, injury or loss of their homes," Laerke said, adding, "There is literally no safe place for civilians."

So far, around 630 people have been killed and over 3,700 others injured by the Israeli regime despite pressure from international community.

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, has been launching retaliatory attacks against Israel.

#5  Never been there, but do the Gazans actually go to school in the summer? I know the entire world isn't like the west, but timing seems fishy to me, even if Israel did not warn the school and make sure all "students" were out.

#4  The IDF reported that the school in question was being used as a command post and weapons depot and futhermore, that all 'students' had abandoned the school at least a week before the attack.

#1  A tragic and tearful tale - with no mention of exactly why tanks might be firing on a school.

But maybe that is just what the Juice do, drive around in tanks blowing up schools. Does kinda sound like fun! But being civilized folk, I suspect they have better things to do.
