Israeli officials today retracted their earlier claim on Friday that the rocket that killed a four-year-old child in Southern Israel was launched from an UNRWA school in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli news reports that the rocket was launched from an UNRWA school were however false. A statement issued by the UNRWA called on the media outlets that reported the incident without seeking confirmation from UNRWA to also report the Israeli army retraction. “We also call on Israeli military spokespersons and other official sources to ensure the accuracy of their facts before going public”, UNRWA said.
