Well, this<\/a> should bring peace to the region:<\/p>\n

A United Nations shelter in northern Gaza was shelled on Thursday, causing “multiple deaths and injuries,” according to a spokesman for the U.N. refugee agency.<\/p>\n

At least 15 people were killed and scores hurt when a school compound in Beit Hanoun, designated as a haven for the displaced, was bombarded by Israeli forces amid heavy fighting with Palestinian militants, a Gaza health official said.<\/p>\n

Chris Gunness, a spokesman for the U.N. Refugee and Works Agency, or UNRWA, tweeted that the precise coordinates of the shelter had been relayed to Israeli forces. <\/p>\n

Israel’s Defense Forces issued a statement Thursday saying that they had ordered the Red Cross to evacuate civilians from the shelter in Belt Hanoun late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.<\/p><\/div>\n

“Evacuate” them to where<\/i> exactly? A U.N. shelter or something?<\/p>\n

The L.A. Times<\/i> goes on to report that, “According to the IDF, Hamas militants prevented civilians from evacuating and continued firing rockets from the area around the shelter.”<\/p>\n

Who knows if that’s true or not. Either way, of course, as “the Palestinian death toll in Gaza surpassed 720 in overnight and early-morning bombardment,” it’s clear that Israel’s strategy of bombing children in U.N. shelters, but warning them first, will almost certainly result in years of peace and prosperity for the Israeli people. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
