UN outraged after Israhell shells its aid compound

GAZA: Israeli forces shelled areas deep inside Gaza City on Thursday, hitting the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and wounding at least three people among the hundreds taking shelter in the compound, UN officials and witnesses said.

Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the UN Relief and Works Agency, which is charged with helping Palestinian refugees, said that the Israelis had been provided with the GPS coordinates of all UN facilities in Gaza. He said that in the strike Thursday on the UN compound two buildings had been set ablaze and that there were five fully laden fuel vehicles at the site.

He rejected the Israeli claim that militants had fired from in or near the compound as "entirely baseless."

"With every false allegation, the credibility of those accusing us is incrementally diminished," he said.

He said that Israel had used three shells of white phosphorous at the compound, according to people at the site, citing the fact that fires caused by the shells had burned all day as evidence that the chemical was used.

White phosphorous creates smoke on a battlefield and can burn like a kind of napalm. There was no immediate response from Israel.

The strike on the UN compound resembled an earlier incident in Israel's campaign against Hamas, when Israeli mortar shells landed outside a UN school compound in Jabaliya, in northern Gaza, killing at least 40 Palestinians, according to UN and hospital officials.

In that attack, the Israeli military said that it was responding to mortars fired by Hamas militants from a yard next to the school compound, and that one of the shells that it fired back fell off the mark.

The attacks have worsened decades of tensions between Israel and the United Nations. Israel views some branches of the UN as hostile and unfair, particularly the Relief and Works Agency, with its focus on helping Palestinians.
