UN blames “Israeli tank” for deadly strike on its buildings in Gaza

The United Nations said Monday a strike on its buildings in Gaza last week that killed one employee and injured several others was caused by an “Israeli” tank.

"Based on the information currently available, the strikes hitting a UN compound in Deir Al Balah on 19 March were caused by an Israeli tank," said the secretary-general's spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

He added that the UN has decided to temporarily reduce its international staff within the Gaza Strip.
