UN agency says grenade found at Gaza school for refugees

The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees says it found a hand grenade and a bulletproof vest hidden at a school in Gaza on Tuesday.

“As soon as the items were discovered, they were removed and UNRWA informed the de facto authorities in Gaza and in Israel,” the agency says in a statement.

“UNRWA strongly and unequivocally condemns the individual or group responsible for this flagrant violation of the inviolability of its premises under international law and calls on the de facto authorities in the Gaza Strip to ensure that this inviolability is respected and upheld,” it adds.
