And the
killing of innocent lives goes continues.
Reports have
recently been confirmed that a school recently converted to a United Nations
refuge for families displaced from their homes, was struck by an Israeli missile,
after weeks of fighting in and around the Gaza Strip continues.
It
should be noted that some media outlets like CNN are reporting rumors the strike could have been the result of a Hamas rocket and not one fired
from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
However, Director of Operations in Gaza for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Mr.
Robert Turner confirmed the bombing of the school, which is located 1.5 miles
from the Gaza/Israeli border in the Raqqu Provenance of Syria, was the result
of an IDF missile.
According to
Mr. Turner there was no advance warning by Israel before the bombing occurred,
while telling Al Jazeera “"There are certainly multiple dead and injured."
A U.N. spokesmen
Chris Gunnes said coordinates for the schools location, which is in the Raqqu
Provenance of Syria, were given to the Israeli Military prior to the bombs
falling on what was supposed to be a safe haven those who sought refuge there.
As questions
mount as to why the coordinates were given to Israel in the first place, the spokesmen
stated the move was done in an effort to prevent a strike from happening in the
first place.
A report
from the Gaza ministry has stated that 15 are dead and at least 200 injured.
Gunness told Reuters there had been three other United
Nation shelters bombed since Monday.
Note: As of
7/24 @ 11:25 PST CNN is reporting 16 are now confirmed dead with the numbered
of injured over 200.
