Israeli Forces Kill At Least 15 People in Shelling of U.N. School in Gaza
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Israeli forces shelled a U.N.-run school sheltering Palestinians in the northern Gaza strip, the Gaza health ministry said on Thursday, killing at least 15 people and raising the conflict's death toll to nearly 750.
Israel Radio said, without citing a source, that most of those killed at the United Nations school were children.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the incident reported as a truce between the Jewish state and Hamas-led Islamist guerrillas remained elusive, despite intensive attempts at mediation.

Karma/blowback is a b*tch. Too bad, Hamasniks.
Is this is the school where they found rockets twice, or a different one?
If the UN is going to run schools, it has an obligation to keep its premises from being used to commit war crimes.
Play stupid games; win stupid prizes.
Does anyone actually know whose shell this was? Will that "knowledge" change in a few weeks (see: Jenin, Mohammed Atta...)?
