Investigation of Death of UN Official in Jenin
(IDF) A UN official was killed on Friday during a gun battle in the Jenin refugee camp. The initial investigation of the events shows that UNWRA headquarters in the camp was being used by the terrorists as cover from which to shoot at IDF soldiers. In addition, there were at least seven cases in which direct fire was aimed towards IDF forces from an alley near UNWRA headquarters. In two cases terrorists opened fired while using civilians as human shields. In one of the cases, a terrorist opened fire while taking cover behind a woman holding an UNWRA flag. While shots were being fired toward IDF forces from UNWRA headquarters, two IDF soldiers identified a man holding an object resembling a pistol (which later proved to be a cellphone) and opened fire toward him.
