Daily News is reporting that an Israeli airstrike hit a UNRWA school in Gaza. 400 people inside were seeking shelter; 3 men died.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency said Asma Elementary school was clearly marked as a U.N. installation. It said over 400 people had been given shelter at the school when it was hit Monday night.

“Well before the current fighting, UNRWA had given to the Israeli authorities the GPS (global positioning system) co-ordinates of all its installations in Gaza, including Asma Elementary School,” the agency said in a news release.

UNRWA identified the those killed as three men, all members of the same family, between the ages of 19 and 25.

No mention of Hamas anywhere in the article. No mention that Hamas has been hiding in and among civilians, including UNRWA installations, facilities, ambulances, etc.

Israel may have hit the school by accident, but this is just a one-sided piece with one thing in mind - attack Israel.
