Spokesman claims UN aid vehicle struck by IDF gunfire in Gaza
The United Nations claims a UN humanitarian vehicle has been struck by IDF gunfire as it was taking part in a convoy in Gaza that was coordinated with the military.
“A clearly marked UN humanitarian vehicle, part of a convoy that had been fully coordinated with the IDF, was struck 10 times by IDF gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows,” UN Secretary-General spokesman Stephane Dujarric says, adding that the two occupants were unharmed.
The IDF does not immediately comment on the accusation. It has previously said that all its strikes are “based on intelligence indications of terror infrastructure or the presence of terrorists in the area of the attack,” accusing Hamas of making use of civilian assets.
