As United Nations officials continue to insist no Hamas fighters were near the Gaza school hit by Israeli artillery fire Tuesday, they might do well to check out this fairly shocking video on Liveleak.com.
In the last 10 seconds or so, Hamas gunmen clearly are seen jumping into a UN-marked ambulance fleeing what appears to be approaching Israeli fire. We can't vouch for the video, but it looks like it was posted by a Hamas sympathizer, given the title's reference to "Freedom Fighters in the Gaza Strip."
UN officials insist there was no fire coming from the school were at least 40 people were killed, but an Associated Press report cites two witnesses who said low level Hamas operatives were among the dead and had been "firing mortar shells from near the school."
The UN needs to ensure its ambulances are being used to treat the wounded and not cornered Hamas gunmen.
