An international United Nations staffer was killed and five others were wounded in a strike on a U.N. guesthouse in the Gaza Strip. The head of the U.N. Office for Project Services confirmed that the attack was not accidental and was not related to demining activities. The Israeli military denied targeting the U.N. compound but strikes had hit near the compound on Monday and directly on Tuesday and Wednesday. The U.N. had informed the Israeli military about the location of the facility. There were no reports of Palestinian militant attacks leading up to the Israeli airstrikes, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 436 people, including 183 children and 94 women, with 678 others wounded. The Israeli military claims to only target militants and blames Hamas for civilian deaths as they operate in densely populated areas, but Gaza’s Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in their records. The situation in Gaza remains tense and volatile, with ongoing airstrikes and high numbers of casualties.
