UN Agency Condemns Israeli Incursion Into School
Gaza: UN agency for Palestinian refugees condemns Israeli incursion into school
The United Nations agency entrusted with aiding Palestinian refugees today condemned an Israeli army incursion into one of its schools in southern Gaza, which left property damaged.
"This is a violation of our property and we expect the IDF to halt any operation that places in danger our staff and which damages our installations," UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) Director in Gaza John Ging said, using the acronym of the Israeli Defence Forces.
Local residents said Israeli soldiers and two tanks entered the compound of the Al Shouka Elementary Coeducational School and arrested two of the guards. The main gate of the school was damaged during the operation. Israeli soldiers then rounded up some 50 other people, bringing about 15 of them to the school, where they were held for several hours before being moved elsewhere.
