Hamas's Systematic Use of UN Sites
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - On Monday, the IDF said that UNRWA headquarters was among the sites targeted in its new operation in Gaza City. Hamas has systematically used UN facilities throughout the war in Gaza. Its forces have hidden in them and used tunnels underneath them. Its armed terrorists have been present at schools, shelters, warehouses, and other UN sites. Hamas has always exploited international organizations and the UN in Gaza. It knows that UN compounds and schools are sites that would normally be protected during a war. Therefore, it views these areas as a priority to use as command and control nodes. Hamas also knows that when it hides at UN-run schools, any airstrike on the site can be used for propaganda, with most reports stating that the IDF struck a school rather than a Hamas site.
