The United Nations says one of its staff members was killed and another injured as they travelled to a hospital in southern Gaza on Monday.
It said the workers were travelling in a UN vehicle to the European Hospital near Rafah when it was struck.
The UN did not mention who it thought was responsible for the attack.
The Israeli military said an initial inquiry indicated the vehicle was struck in an active combat zone and it had not been made aware of its route.
Footage posted on social media and verified by the BBC shows a marked UN vehicle with multiple bullet holes outside the European Hospital.
Noteworthy that this was not an UNRWA number but the first international UN worker.
The Israeli military said an initial inquiry indicated the vehicle was struck in an active combat zone and it had not been made aware of its route.
From the Wapo article about this:
Haq confirmed that Kale was the first international U.N. casualty since the beginning of the conflict on Oct 7. He added that “we inform the Israeli side of the movement of all our convoys. They are all clearly marked U.N. vehicles.”
Also speaks volumes that whenever a UN vehicle gets attacked nobody even suspects Hamas anymore. It’s israel every. single. time.
The Israeli military said an initial inquiry indicated the vehicle was struck in an active combat zone and it had not been made aware of its route.
How about the IDF just stops shooting at or bombing any vehicle that has a UN logo on it.
I mean that would just make sense, right? Right??
The UN provides humanitarian aid to the Palestinians they are intent on starving to death. Israel wants them out.
and it had not been made aware of its route.
As if that’s an excuse, seeing as when people do notify them they end up getting killed.
the vehicle was struck in an active combat zone and it had not been made aware of its route.
Well, after seeing what hapPENED TO THE LAST CONVOY THEY WERE AWARE OF IN A SAFE ZONE
Fuck’s sake.
There are probably no IDF and no UN in the area anyway. This has become a messy game involving peoples lives. How about everybody stop fucking shooting.
