Israel plans to demand from the United Nations to publish photos of the weapons found in a Gaza school operated by its Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), a diplomatic official in Jerusalem says.
Israel plans to disseminate these images to bolster its assertion that Hamas is hiding missiles in schools, the official says. Hamas also fires rockets at Israeli school, the official adds. “Two schools were already hit, in Ashdod and in Rishon Lezion.”
On Wednesday, some 20 rockets were found in a vacant UNRWA school during a regular inspection. UNRWA condemned those responsible for hiding the weapons there, without naming which group is responsible.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Yigal Palmor said Thursday that it expects the UN and the international community to condemn and “to act strongly against this brazen violation of international humanitarian law, which endangers children and UN humanitarian activities.”
