Girl at school desk killed by Israeli shot The Associated Press
Wednesday, October 13, 2004
An 11-year-old Palestinian schoolgirl was shot in the stomach and critically wounded by Israeli gunfire Tuesday as she sat inside a United Nations school in a Gaza refugee camp, UN officials said.
The incident threatened to escalate tensions between Israel and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs the school.
Last month, a 10-year-old girl was killed by Israeli gunfire while sitting at her desk at the same school.
Israeli troops frequently clash with Palestinian gunmen throughout the Gaza Strip.
UNRWA, the main UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has accused Israeli troops of firing indiscriminately in crowded areas. Israel accuses the militants of using populated areas for cover and endangering the lives of civilians.
In the aftermath of another incident, Israel's top military prosecutor opened an investigation into a platoon commander soldiers accuse of emptying an ammunition clip into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl.
