Shell Strikes U.N. School, Killing Up To 19 Who Sought Shelter

As many as 19 people were killed when a shell struck a school run by the United Nations in Gaza, this morning.

In a message on Twitter, , the commissioner-general of UNRWA, which is responsible for the welfare of Palestinian refugees, blamed the attack on the Israeli military.

"Children, women and men killed & injured as they slept in place where they should have been safe and protected," Krähenbühl said, referring to the fact that the school was being used as a shelter. "They were not. Intolerable."

According to Krähenbühl, this is the sixth time shells have hit a UNRWA school. He "a breaking point."

NPR's Emily Harris reports that this is the second time a U.N. school has been hit and people have been killed.

Pinpoint accuracy?

When you launch rockets from near and inside a "shelter" or a school, it is no longer a safe place.

It said, but unsurprising, that Hamas reduced to the level of rocket launching where children are.

And It's a serious change in thinking by the IDF. Usually, when knowing children are nearby, the place would stay untouched. But the massive loses on the Israeli side caused the IDF to change thinking.

Truly a sad reality.

There is no such thing as a "Shelter" in a War Zone. Those who live there have a limited selection of choices.... Fight, Surrender, Leave, or Be Potential Collateral Damage. Any of the first three options can be defended. The last is simply sheer stupidity.

There is if the Geneva convention is being adhered to.

well-------the fact that bombs landed on a building called a "school" ---is going to be exploited
to the hilt--------on analysis------it seems to me that saturation bombing with Kassams ----
actually destroys all possible arguments against return fire ANYWHERE-----in view of the
fact that those bombs just go ANYWHERE --------and, of couse----once schools and mosques
and hospitals have been demonstrated as being used as fortresses-----that immunity
argument gets destroyed.......... sit tight------it is all a matter of quibbling for the next few decade---
or centuries

Pinpoint accuracy?

Yes. But ambulances, marked "UN", ferrying hamas thugs, are more interesting, of course.

When did America become so fascist?

Its seems that though the Germans lost WWII, the fascists won it.

Jews value LIFE, not death.
Ergo, even 1 death IS a massive loss.

This was a school where refugees were told they would be safe. Try to keep up.

Civilians can't surrender nor are they ALLOWED TO LEAVE nor do they want to fight.

Who exactly lied to these "refugees"?

827 civilians of which 243 are children is a massive loss.

They value their children every bit as much as the Jews do.

You don't stand outside during a hurricane. You shutter the windows and take shelter in the heart of the building, you leave till it passes, you go to a government shelter, but you don't stand outside with everything being blown around trying to get hit or swept away.

You don't take shelter in a war zone where there are rockets being fired. You go to an area that is not likely to be targeted. A red cross or blue UN on the roof does not mean much if the roof or courtyard is a base for rockets and weapons or the source of attacks on Israel.
If a hospital has a tank or artillery outside the front door, it is very likely the hospital will be collateral damage. Hamas is like the turtle, it hides behind the shell of "safe" place and comes out to bite then hides again. You are not getting the turtle out without breaking the shell.

Not much, but did they bomb the civilians?

Who's to blame?
