‘Gaza mortar that killed 4-year-old fired from near UNRWA shelter’

The mortar shell that killed a four-year-old boy in the Sha’ar Hanegev region this evening was fired from near a UNRWA shelter in Gaza City, Israeli security officials say. Initially, they said the shell was fired from near a school. Later, an IDF spokesperson corrected that to “adjacent to UNRWA shelter.”
