This is a UN school in Gaza... was the IDF invading the UN facility and so needed a smoke screen? Did they feel the UN was a source of rockets fired into Israel? Was this not an act of war against the UN and therefore against the world at large? Interesting questions... any answers?
• Israel was aware of the dangers of white phosphorus.
• It chose not to use alternative and less dangerous smoke shells.
• In one case, Israel even ignored repeated warnings from UN staff before hitting the main UN compound in Gaza with white phosphorus shells on 15 January.
