"19/01/2009 A spokesman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency said Sunday that senior Israeli army officers quietly admitted that Hamas fighters had not shot from UNRWA buildings hit last week by Israeli occupation soldiers’ fire.
According to Christopher Gunness, the Israeli army's claim that it was returning fire from Palestinian resistance fighters within or near the UN compounds was "baseless misinformation."
"Senior IDF officials fully admitted to us in coordination meetings that there were no militants inside our compound," he told Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post. "So you have public statements that say UNRWA is allowing terrorists into its facilities, while in meetings they fully acknowledge [this was untrue]."
He added that there was "a pattern emerging of the IDF making false allegations against UNRWA," and he called on the army and Israeli spokespeople generally "to sort out their messaging, because with every flip and every flop, their credibility is hanging in rags."....."
