ChildThe Israeli zionist “state” of terror has continued burning the Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip at the 17th day of what so-called the “operation Edge”, the 7th day of the Israeli war criminal forces (IWCF) ground incursion into the Gaza.

The Palestinian death toll since Israel launched the war in Gaza surpassed the 791, among them 110 of were killed during the (IWCF) aggression.

At approximately 2:50 pm today, Thursday 24 July 2014, the Israeli war criminal forces (IWCF) committed a new war crime in the Gaza Strip, directly attacking an UNRWA shelter for internally displaced people (IDPs), most of them elderly, women, and children. The (IWCF) fired six artillery shells at the Primary Coeducation School (A and D), which is located in the Qaa’ Al Beer neighborhood in the town of Beit Hanoun.

The shelter which the (IWCF) targeted today is operated by UNRWA and located in the town of Beit Hanoun, north of the Gaza Strip. It hosts about 300 IDPs from the north Gaza district.

injured in GazaThe criminal attack killed at least 17 and injured more than 200 of the displaced Palestinian civilians (IDPs). It is the fourth time in two days that Israeli forces have bombed the schools serving as shelters in the besieged Gaza Strip.

According to Al-Mezan for Human Rights in Gaza [3], UNRWA implements strict security measures that ensure that only civilians enter the premises of their shelters. They also provide the address and coordinates of the shelters to the Israeli war criminal forces (IWCF) in order to assure safety measure. The school raises the UN flag.

Mr. Adnan Abu Hasana, the spokesman for the UN’s Palestine refugee agency UNRWA in Gaza stated that the (IWCF) did not send warning message before they shelled the school which used as a shelter.

He added: “We asked the israeli forces coordination office to warn us before shelling because the school is located in a dangerous area. We told them to give us enough time to evacuate women, children, elderly and UNRWA team, but they shelled the school without warning.”

UNRWA-1 [4]Mr. Chris Gunness, UNRWA [4] spokesman tweeted that the over the course of the day UNRWA tried 2 coordinate with the Israeli Army a window for civilians 2 leave and it was never granted. In another tweet he wrote that precise co-ordinates of the UNRWA shelter in Beit Hanoun had been formally given to the Israeli army. He confirmed that multiple dead and injured at designated UNRWA shelter in Beit Hanoun.

Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights strongly condemns this war crime with the strongest terms. This attack reflects IWOF’s flagrant disregard to the rules of international law as well as its moral bankruptcy. There is no acceptable justification for continuous military attacks that are directed to civilians and civilian targets such as hospitals, houses, and IDP shelters which are open in coordination with the IOF, and enjoy the protection of international law. The laws and norms of war cannot condone this type of attacks by any army in the world.
