"Two residents of the area near UN school that was shelled by the IDF on Tuesday said that they had seen a small group of terrorists firing mortar rounds from a street close to the school. The two spoke with The Associated Press by telephone on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal....
Defense officials told The Associated Press that booby-trapped bombs in the school had triggered secondary explosions that killed additional Palestinians there."http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1231167272256&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull--------------------
I'm not aware of any of this initially reported in mainstream media outlets. The initial reports generally condemned the IDF for firing at a UN school and killing around 40, as if the attack was deliberate and indiscriminate (criminal), with only the IDF's response (as though not very credible) that there were combatants in the vicinity. There were no independent reports or confirmation (certainly not from PCHR) that in any way supported IDF claims.
Compare the evidence we now have to the initial PCHR and mainstream media reporting on this incident.
Are you still okay with the initial reporting on this event?
