UNRWA ‘categorically denies’ rocket claim

Moments before the IDF retracts its claim that the mortar that killed 4-year-old Daniel Tragerman in southern Israel was fired from an UNRWA school used as a shelter, the agency denies that the weapon was fired from one of its facilities.

The agency “categorically denies that the weapon that killed the Israeli child today was fired from an UNRWA installation,” tweets its spokesman, Chris Gunness.

Gunness later tweets that the Israeli military has retracted the claim.
