FN skola besköts i Gaza

En FN skola besköts i dag i Gaza och 15 personer uppges ha dödats. YLE har rubriken  "Israel besköt skola - 15 döda"  och andra kommer säkert att ha liknande rubriker.
YLE:s rapport baserar sig helt på palestinska källor och UNRWA och den påstår att det inte fanns några militanta i närheten av skolan.

En talesmanför FN säger följande:
 "The Secretary General’s spokesperson emphasized that the United Nations is still unsure which side committed the attack, but did confirm that UN workers were killed. 

Den version man kan läsa i Jerusalem Post är lite annorlunda än Yles version:
IDF: Terrorists opened fire from vicinity of UN-run Gaza school 
 "The IDF Spokesperson's Office said on Thursday night that an initial investigation into the shelling of a UN-run school in Gaza – which left at least fifteen dead, and dozens wounded – found that terrorists had opened fire from the vicinity of the school, and that the army returned fire.
At the same time, Hamas fired in the general direction of the school, the army said. Civilians in the school were asked to vacate the area, but refused, the army added."


The Times of Israel skriver:

“We can confirm that [Palestinian] terror rockets that were fired from that area landed in the neighborhood of the UN facility,” said Cap. Eytan Buchman of the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, asserting that the death and destruction may have been caused by errant rockets fired by Hamas or another militant organization.
The veteran Arab affairs analyst on Israeli Channel 2 news went one step further. There were nine mortar shells fired from the area of the UNRWA school in Beit Hanoun, Ehud Ya’ari said, “and one hit the school.”
UNRWA Spokesman Chris Gunness seemed to confirm that Hamas projectiles were fired in the area, writing on twitter that it’s “being reported there were Hamas rockets falling in Beit Hanoun today.”
