UN: IDF did not shell UNRWA school
By TOVAH LAZAROFF AND YAAKOV KATZ
A clerical error led the UN to falsely accuse Israel of shelling one of its Gaza schools in the Jabalya refugee camp during Operation Cast Lead, the international organization admitted this week.
The site hit by an IDF mortar shell near a UN school in Gaza.
For close to a month, the UN accused the Israel of hitting the educational compound ran by its Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which was sheltering more than 1,300 Gazans as the IDF battled Hamas in the camp on January 6.
The strike made international headlines and was one of the many incidents of civilian deaths that led nongovernmental organization and international politicians to call for Israelis to be charged with war crimes for the 22-day military offensive. ....
At the time UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the IDF attack "outrageous" and demanded an investigation.
But on Tuesday, the UN's Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) slipped a "clarification" notice on the head of its weekly field report from Gaza.
It noted that its January 6 field report had stated that an IDF shell hit outside the school, causing fatalities. Its January 7 field report, however, stated that the shell hit the school.
"The humanitarian coordinator would like to clarify that the shelling, and all of the fatalities, took place outside rather than inside the school," the original field report stated.
It was publicized in the aftermath of a Toronto Globe and Mail article that reported that the IDF had not attacked the school.
When quizzed by The Jerusalem Post with respect to statements regarding the incidents made by OCHA and UNRWA in the past month attacking Israel for the incident, both organizations denied that they had ever verbally accused Israel of hitting the school.
....
Israeli defense officials noted that in two previous reports, the UN had stated that the IDF attack had been against the school and not outside the school.
In addition, the defense officials said it was not certain that the number of casualties reported by the UN, 43, was accurate and that Military Intelligence had noticed Hamas attempts to cover up the identity of those killed in the strike.
"We know of at least three terrorists among the dead," one official said. "It is clear that there were more people killed but Hamas has been covering up their identities."
As Americans are quickly learning, the MSM is a terrorist organization, run by terrorists.
bttt
The UN needs to be Rachel Coreyed into the East River.
Haven’t you learned - the MSM never ever makes amistake or is ever biased. The consensus on these two issues is incontrovertible.
