Israeli army admit no fire from UNRWA shelter

A spokesperson for the Israeli army has said the mortar that killed a four-year-old child in Israel was not fired from a UN shelter in Gaza.

After initially accusing Palestinian fighters of firing from a UNRWA facility, an Israeli official said they were wrong.

1/2 Correction: After further review, the school the mortar was launched near from is not being used as a shelter by @UNRWA

2/2 But rather a shelter maintained by #Hamas authorities in #Gaza.
