Reports: Hamas Rockets Cited in Deadly Attack on U.N. Shelter in Beit Hanoun, Gaza

Here's the report on the Beit Hanoun shelling, at the New York Times, "Airstrike Hits School Sheltering Gaza Civilians." The Times claims it was an "apparent Israeli strike" that hit the compound, but there are conflicting reports.

UNRWA Spokesman Chris Gunness indicates that Hamas rockets were also falling in the same area as well:



And the IDF issued this statement, "IDF SMS regarding Beit Hanoun":
The IDF is currently in the midst of combat, with Hamas terrorists in the area of Beit Hanoun, who are using civilian infrastructure and international symbols as human shields. In the course of the afternoon, several rockets launched by Hamas from within the Gaza Strip landed in the Beit Hanoun area. The IDF is reviewing the incident.
Any war with Hamas and the anti-Israel left is a information war. The facts are unknown on the bombing at Beit Hanoun, but the media's rush to judgment always indicts the Israelis first.

Expect updates...
