Hamas fired at UNICEF convoy: Israel
This incident comes nearly a month after the Israeli military said on June 25 that Hamasfired a projectile at aUNICEF humanitarian aidconvoy, the news agency Reuters reported.
A video released by the Israeli military showedUNpersonnel running for cover in aUN-marked vehicle and Israeli soldiers taking cover in a mobile shelter and on the ground, followed by an explosion.
The aidconvoy, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) said, was coordinated withUNICEF to reunite children from northern Gaza with their families in the south. It said the projectile was fired at the humanitarian route in Gaza where Israeli soldiers are securing the area.
International aid workers and Israeli soldiers were not hurt in the attack, it added.
