The sensational story was too good to pass up. Israel allegedly shelled a United Nation school being used as a refugee shelter, massacring at least sixteen people who were trying to evacuate. Even worse, the media reported that Israel had the exact coordinates of the school, knew that civilians were sheltering there, and there was no combat nearby.

In other words, the media indicted the IDF for a war crime. Even though there were no credible sources, the media assumed that information they were given was true.

What Really Happened at that Gazan UN School?
