Findings of IDF Inquiry of the UNRWA School Incident in Beit Hanoun

Since Thursday, July 24, 2014, the IDF has conducted a comprehensive inquiry
regarding the incident in which the UNRWA school was fired upon. The inquiry
concluded that during the intense fighting between IDF forces and Hamas
militants, the militants operated adjacent to the UNRWA school. The
militants fired anti-tank missiles at IDF soldiers, who then responded by
firing several mortars in their direction.

The inquiry and the documented footage presented here concluded that a
single errant mortar landed in the courtyard of the UNRWA school, when it
was completely empty. To download the video,

The IDF stresses it does not operate or target international organizations
in the Gaza Strip, and the ongoing coordination conducted via the
Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) is
continuous without change, even during times of combat.

In light of the inquiry's findings, the IDF rejects the claims that were
made by various officials immediately following the incident, that people
were killed in the school premises as a result of IDF operational activity.
