Hamas and Israel

Israel: On Thursday at least 15 people who were seeking safety in a UN-run schoolhouse died in an attack Gazan authorities and eye witnesses described as Israeli shelling. Israels military said that Hamas rockets could have been responsible, and that we do not target UN facilities, according to The Star. But the toll of Israels assault on Gaza has caused a growing outcry, as numbers of Palestinian dead rose to more than 750 in the past 17 days, while Israel has lost at least 32 soldiers in clashes with Hamas, whose fighters have also tunneled their way beneath the closed border into Israel and It was a scene of panic, bloodshed and death that sent shock waves through the international community. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack, saying many have been killed including women and children as well as UN staff, and adding that circumstances are still unclear.
