Israel Bombs UN School, Three Killed
------------------------------------



More than forty Palestinians were killed in Gaza yesterday, almost half
of them children. Five civilians were killed early today when a shell
fired by an Israeli ship hit their house. The United Nations said three
Palestinians died last night when an Israeli bomb hit a UN school where
hundreds of Gazans had sought refuge. UN officials say they provided
their location coordinates to Israel’s army to ensure that their
buildings in Gaza are not targeted.
