"The Palestinian Red Crescent said Israeli shells had hit the compound.

The Israeli military said Hamas had launched rockets that fell in the area that could have been responsible for the deaths.

"We can't confirm that this is a result of errant fire. In any case, we do not target U.N. facilities," military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said. Lerner said the military had urged the U.N. and the Red Cross to evacuate the school for three days leading up to the incident."





Amazing how Palestinian government sources are ALWAYS certain it is Israeli fire, without even taking time to check the facts, while Israeli sources use terms like "could have" and "can't confirm" when there has not been enough time to determine what actually happened.
