Following Backlash, UNRWA Director Apologizes for Saying Israeli Army Rarely Attacked Civilians
(Ha'aretz) Amira Hass - Matthias Schmale, director of UNRWA's operations in Gaza, told Israel's Channel 12 on Sunday: "I also have the impression that there is a huge sophistication in the way that the Israeli army struck [Gaza] over the past 11 days....Yes, they did not hit, with some exceptions, civilian targets." On Tuesday he apologized for those remarks after being harshly criticized by Hamas and Palestinian groups.
