The Zionist army’s main target appears to be the area around Khan Younis’s long-standing refugee camp, which includes the Nasser and Al-Amal hospitals and also the UNRWA training center. On Wednesday Israel hit the UN building in Khan Younis located at South Gaza that was used as a shelter for 800 civilian Palestinians. “Two tank rounds hit building that shelters 800 people — reports now 9 dead and 75 injured,” tweeted UNRWA’s Gaza director Thomas White, blaming Israel for the strike” [1]
At least 25,700 Gazans have been killed so far in the war on Gaza health ministry said on Wednesday.
“In a statement on Wednesday, the Israeli military said the wider area surrounding the UN center was a significant base of Hamas terrorists” [2]
But then The White House decried the strike while avoiding blaming Israel.
“We are gravely concerned by reports today of strikes hitting a UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) facility — with subsequent reports of fires in the building — in a neighborhood in southern Gaza where more than 30,000 displaced Palestinians had reportedly been sheltering,” National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said. While we don’t yet have all the details on what happened and will continue to seek further information regarding today’s incidents, the loss of every innocent life is a tragedy,” Watson said [3]
The Zionist army was quick to understand the clue and said that the army is probing the deadly strike on Gaza UN shelter, and it may have been caused by Hamas.
“After an inspection of operational systems, the IDF has now ruled out the possibility that the incident was caused by an airstrike or artillery fire by IDF forces. The army is conducting an in-depth examination of ground forces’ activity in the area of the facility” [4]
On Tuesday the Zionist military announced the deaths of 24 IDF soldiers in the Strip, three of whom were killed in Khan Younis and 21 in a building collapse in central Gaza following an explosion. Thus, the Zionist felt the need to show the Palestinians that Israel can kill more civilians for every dead soldier.
Down with the Zionist murdering apartheid!
For Palestine red and free from the river to the sea!
