10 people killed by explosion at UN school in Gaza

A shell exploded next to a UN school in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah on Sunday, reports "Russian Air Service"... As a result, at least 10 people were killed and another 35 were injured.

Chris Gannes, spokesman for the United Nations Relief Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Middle East, said there were about 3000 Palestinians at the school in Rafah.

“I cannot say that it was a direct hit, and we cannot say which side was the target,” said Gannes.

Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said they were not firing at civilian targets, and that the attack in the area was aimed at "three Islamic Jihad terrorists riding a motorcycle not far from the UN school in Rafah." According to him, an internal investigation has been launched in connection with this incident.

"Voice of America" notes that this is the third case of shelling of UN schools by the Israeli army in the past 10 days. According to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, this is a "gross violation and crime."

In turn, Israel accused Hamas militants of using civilian facilities, including schools and hospitals, to shield missile launchers and ammunition depots.

On the night of Saturday to Sunday, the Israeli army launched 13 airstrikes against various targets in the Gaza Strip. As a result of these attacks, at least 30 people were killed.

For balance, or something

Hmm ... Any military operations incur losses ... Well, about the expediency of such actions ... Alas, it's not for us to judge !!!

[Giant thought]

The confrontation in the Gaza Strip is moving to a higher level, it is quite possible this is being done to justify the use of weapons of mass destruction against Israel, remember, recently a certain amount of uranium was seized in Iraq, you cannot make a real atomic bomb out of it, and the Islamists do not have specialists for this, and Here's a dirty ammunition can be crafted.

[Mountain shooter]

From the uranium that was captured, you cannot build any bomb. Uranium that is not enriched is almost inactive, and enriched uranium is not very active. This is all a journalistic duck. A real "dirty" bomb can be built by plundering an oncology center with cobalt cannons. Only specialists will be needed - suicide bombers. And the suicide bombers are the ones who will carry this bomb. And it is calculated "at once", since it "shouts" on the instruments - I am here!

And only Hamas has no doubts that this is a "crime of the Zionists"

Predictably, the militants of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas refused to accept the ceasefire announced this morning by the Israeli side.

This was done, as the Hamas supporters themselves say, solely for the sake of drawing the world's attention to the plight of the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip.


"The goal of the Israeli proposal for a humanitarian ceasefire is to divert attention from what is happening in the Gaza Strip," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu-Zuhri.


“We urge the Palestinians to be careful as Hamas is not going to join a unilateral ceasefire. Don't trust the Zionist initiatives! ”He urged.

and continued

The "hit on the UNRWA school" the day before yesterday turned out to be another Palestinian myth. The press service of the army said that there was no firing in the direction of the building, apparently, as before, we are talking about a Palestinian missile.

Because ukrohunta and Hamas have the same liberal geyrop patrons. And the BBC TV company is famous for its love of terrorists, Nazis and other geeks.

I think everything is much more complicated. The SGA has decided to reshape the Middle East and is nursing its new brainchild, ISIS. They also decided to finally colonize the kheikolkhoz, tearing it off from the oil and gas of the BV and Russia and planting it on the zazrantsy shale.

Please, proof to the studio. No, I'm serious. If you do have evidence that the Obama administration is in any way involved in helping ISIS, this is the bomb. Obama is impeached, and his administration is jailed, and for very long periods, possibly for life. And Obama himself will sit down. Do you want that? I am. So the proof is in the studio.

the simplest question is, who is profitable, who was shooting at the school? It's easier than ever to blame the Jews for everything, but KAMAS like playing snowballs and not aisles? do not fight at all. or fight like we - on computers and tablets - and killed a bunch of enemies, and he himself is alive.

Quote: newsru.co.il

Two Palestinian Arabs entered the house of residents of the Neve Tzuf settlement. At this time, the hostess was at home. She entered into battle with the Arabs and put them to flight. Note that in the initial reports from the scene, it was said that a man was injured.

According to Israeli media reports, the owner of the house was lightly wounded in a fight with the "intruders".

The military is involved in the search for the attackers.

The investigating authorities emphasize: at this stage of the investigation, it cannot be ruled out that this is not just about robbers, but about an attempted terrorist attack in an Israeli settlement.

And here's what the professional military says:

Former commander of the British contingent in Afghanistan, Colonel Richard Kemp, who knows well how any action of the army is presented by the world media against the Muslim population, even if it is, as in Afghanistan, teeming with terrorists, arrived in Israel, as soon as the ground operation began in the Gaza Strip.
He is not interested in politics, which sees only the absolute number of losses among the population of the Sector, he is interested in how it is possible to make it so that there are practically no civilian casualties in the Sector.
Those people who die are mainly not civilians, they are militants and those whom they expose as human shields.
It is well known that, first of all, Hamas deliberately overestimates the death toll.
If we subtract from the real number of victims those who is Hamas killing - these are mainly old people and women over the age of 45, as well as those whom he does not let out of the houses, about which the IDF warns that they will be destroyed, then in the literal sense there are no “IDF victims”.
Experts understand this well. and they know and the military around the world are studying the Israeli military experience in a densely populated urban area.

“Personally, I don’t know how to further reduce civilian casualties in such conditions” - Richard Camp in an interview with the Jerusalem Post not without humor declares - if Obama and Cameron know how, then let them tell about it.
The British military believes that By criticizing Israel, Western politicians are pushing terrorists of all stripes to use Hamas tactics.
And the most dangerous, he calls the use of "human shields" in the form of civilians.

What do you think, if the army of Great Britain, France or, soot, Russia, uprooted their terrorists from their holes, who, moreover, were hiding behind children, would the BBC, agence France-Presse or Russian TV criticize the actions of their armies? Definitely not!
And Israel is hypocritically criticized ...

Does he smoke? I am not going to blame and am proud of those soldiers and officers who died defending - saving children from the captured school. I'm really proud. But I watched the video from the assault - WHO GIVEN THE ORDER TO SHOOT THEIR KVPT AT SCHOOL WHEN THERE WERE HOSTAGE STILL? No one was punished.

[slava11]

Damn you don't know cry or laugh

[slava11]

Bad, very bad Israel, still dares to defend itself against terrorists. I completely lost my fear. \

Amid continuing rocket attacks, the IDF continues to send humanitarian aid trucks to the Gaza Strip. On Sunday 3 August, 186 trucks loaded with food, medicine, fuel and other goods were sent to Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.

[slava11]

Forward. Our IDF is built on strategy and tactics - the best defense is offensive.

[quote] Another war

In that short period, while there was hope that junior lieutenant Adar Goldin was alive and could be saved, we suddenly saw another army and another government. Offensive on all fronts. No negotiations with terrorists. No restrictions on the actions of the IDF. To level Gaza and destroy Hamas.

To the credit of our leadership, no one is going to negotiate with terrorists now, and we can expect that at least this position will remain unchanged. But after Adar Goldin was declared dead, Operation Unbreakable Rock reverted to its previous plan.

This raises the question: why exactly did the abduction of an Israeli soldier change the course of the operation? By this time, more than 60 soldiers and civilians had died, there were hundreds of wounded in hospitals, our territory was subjected to multiple rocket attacks every day. The kidnapping took place during the truce, which caused particular outrage in Israel and the whole world, but in the same sortie, also in violation of the agreement, two of Goldin's colleagues were killed. Neither their deaths, nor the shed blood of other Israelis, nor the pain and tears of their relatives affected the events as much as the capture of our officer.

The roots of this attitude lie in the laws of the Torah, which require the ransom of Jews from foreign slavery and captivity at any cost. The tradition, however, implied a ransom. In the tradition of the state of Israel, exchange transactions entered, and the "price" of each of our prisoners was growing all the time. The last ransom for the kidnapped in 2006 of Sergeant Gilad Shalit was more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners, among whom about 400 were serving life sentences for the terrorist attacks. Unsurprisingly, kidnapping of Israelis has become a top strategic goal for extremists of all stripes, from Hamas to Hezbollah.

Unsurprisingly, kidnapping of Israelis has become a top strategic goal for extremists of all stripes, from Hamas to Hezbollah.

In 2006, the army entered Gaza, but did not find Shalit (Operation Summer Rains). The history of the Israeli corporal has become the property of the entire world community. Diplomats, heads of state, and religious leaders fought for his release. At the same time, even in Israel, few people remember the names of Hanan Barak and Pavel Slutsker, who were killed by bandits in the same sortie. We are seeing the same reaction now. In one day on August 2, politicians from different countries managed to severely condemn Hamas and demand the immediate return of Adar Goldin. Until then, not a single Hamas action, including shelling schools and kindergartens and launching rockets from the hospital grounds, has caused such an international resonance.

[slava11]

Yes, there are always casualties in war, but prisoners are also taken there. It is clear that the murdered cannot be returned, but the hostage can be saved. Moreover, being in the hands of terrorists can be worse than death. Humanly, one can understand the state of Israel, which goes to great lengths to return its sons from enemy captivity. But each time the exchange deal causes more and more controversy and protests due to its high price. Many soldiers and officers ask in advance not to exchange them for murderers if they are taken hostage.

At one time, in order to resolve this dilemma, the so-called "Hannibal Instruction" was created in the army. It operated during the First Lebanon War, was canceled in 2005 under pressure from human rights organizations and re-introduced after the abduction of Shalit. It is based on the condition: to prevent the kidnapping of a serviceman even at the cost of his death. Therefore, the possible route of the terrorists and the objects in which the hostage may be located are subjected to merciless massive shelling. But that's not all. Field commanders are encouraged to act according to circumstances. Thus, an officer of one of the battalions of the Golani brigade called on his soldiers to blow themselves up with a grenade when they were threatened with being captured.

This instruction is controversial even among IDF officers. However, its very existence demonstrates that for the State of Israel the capture of a soldier is an incident much more serious and tragic than his death.

Is it correct? In the end, the authorities can abandon exchange deals once and for all. It will be a difficult and painful decision, but it will find understanding among the people of Israel and make the capture of prisoners unprofitable for the terrorists.

[slava11]

This does not mean that the kidnapping of soldiers should be ignored. The army's decisive action deserves full approval. The acute phase of the operation, which began after the disappearance of Adar Goldin, despite the bitterness, awakened hope in many Israelis. It seemed that now the IDF would finally defeat Hamas, without looking back at the humanitarian restrictions and the world community, which suddenly turned out to be on our side. We wished Adar with all our hearts to return alive, but no less wished that the army would not stop, so that the blood of the dead soldiers would not be spilled in vain. The abrupt change in the course of the operation made us wonder why all this could not have been done before. In the end, in a massive strike, there would not be much more casualties in Gaza than there are now, and a flood of condemnation for "excessive use of force" would have hit the Jewish state in one way or another.

We already know that Operation Unbreakable Rock will continue as planned - until complete victory. Although our government can declare victory at any moment, as soon as the shelling from Gaza stops. We will have to believe that all the tunnels have been destroyed, since no one can verify this. But with the news of the death of junior lieutenant Goldin, the legitimization of the war for the complete destruction of Hamas is lost, and the authorities probably abandoned it. It is not known how many more soldiers will not return home and how many nights our citizens will have to spend in shelters. Peace will come sooner or later, but questions will remain for a long time. We saw that the IDF can wage war in a different way, more brutally and decisively, with more tangible results. This requires special reasons, but, in the opinion of the majority of our citizens, such reasons are enough even without the kidnapping of an officer.

At the same time that Bibi Natanyahu accused Hamas of using Palestinians as a human shield, Palestinian teenager Bakrun Najar, 19, confirmed that he was seized by the occupation forces outside his parents' house in the town of Khuza and then forced to sit on a tank that received participation in the ground operation. "I was seized by fear. They were shooting around, everything was thundering. Each shell could mean certain death." Witnesses confirm that this was not the first nor the last time that Israeli forces have used civilians during their operations. Said Abu Rida also said that first "Israeli" soldiers beat him and then covered himself with an unarmed man during their attack on Palestinian homes. "It was very scary. The soldiers sat down and handcuffed me to the tank. They themselves sat inside."

I talked to a Hamas sidekick, and he gave the above, and to the question `` Ge to fasten handcuffs on the merkava '' all the answers evaporated.

For balance and justice: Palewood: shelling of a UN school that was not

"On the morning of August 3, Palestinian sources reported another shelling of a UNRWA school in Gaza. According to the Palestinians, an Israeli airstrike killed 30 people and injured XNUMX others."
On the territory of UN schools refugees who have left their homes after IDF warnings are hiding.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the shelling. The US State Department then announced that the United States was "appalled at the blatant attack" by the Israeli army at an UNRWA school in Gaza.
The information spread around the world, and then bloggers drew attention to the photos and videos taken at the scene of the incident, and began to ask uncomfortable questions.
Judging by the video of the British newspaper Guardian, the blow was struck not at all on the territory of the school, but outside at its gates, as the journalists of the publication write about. "
This is no longer a war crime from the point of view of international law, notes blogger Thomas Victor, the first to draw attention to a bunch of inconsistencies.
Judging by the frames shown in this video, the bloody trail, the bodies of two men were dragged from the street to the school grounds. Apparently, it was a point of elimination at the gates of the school.
In order to give the impression of the death of civilians, a girl, apparently alive, was put on the bodies of men. The frames show how the bodies are laid out in an artistic order for photographing.
Later, specially for journalists with this girl in her arms, a young man posed with a tragic expression on his face, running through the streets for a beautiful shot - allegedly carrying her to the hospital. In other shots, another man also posed with her in his arms.
To understand that the girl is alive, you can carefully examine the photographs where in later mouths she has her mouth open, which would not have happened if she had been dead. On some frames, the fingers of her hands are bent, on later - no longer.
In addition, corrosive bloggers drew attention to what looks like a bloodied scar on the girl’s hand. In their opinion, this is a specially glued rubber sticker.

To build another beautiful shot of the tragedy, one of the men grabbed the whole and unscathed boy and dragged him somewhere, as if to a hospital. But the boy is inside the school, and the explosion occurred behind his gates, as Guardian reporters reported. In other words, if the boy was initially injured or killed, then he would be lying on the street, and they would shoot him from all angles there.

Other shots show how the Palestinians dismantled piles of boxes lying on the sidelines and closing the school sign for a more spectacular composition.
