1. Gee, I'm so surprised at this finding.
Jake   (07.17.14)
Did the UNRWA also check the adjoining kindergarten? They might find a few Hamas "fighters" hiding there.
2. UNRWA knew the were there all the time.. but an impending
OH NO....... ,   IDF is coming   (07.17.14)
infiltration by IDF would have "caught them"... better get rid of them and blame Hamas. When will they stop teaching and supporting OTHER jihad strategies?
3. pillay and unwra rockets
jim   (07.17.14)
the UN dishrag for the middle east I am certain has an excuse for rockets in a UN schoool in gaza. What an absolute piece of filth is pillay!
4. Finally, instead of empty houses IDF has a worthwhile
A ,   Belgium   (07.17.14)
target to destroy: anything belonging to the United Nothings.
5. Condemning is not enough
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (07.17.14)
This violation must be brought to the attention of the UN, international press and Hamas must be officially reprimanded.
6. i have yet to
(07.17.14)
find this article mentioned IN ANY INTERNATIONAL PAPERS OR MEDIA.
7. How shocking of the UNWRA
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (07.17.14)
to take away the rockets. Will this finally prove what the IDF has been saying for years. It will fall on deaf ears.
8. Only one school? All UNRWA schools have rockets. Bomb them.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.17.14)
9. Coincidently, yesterday's headlines ,...
split ,   US   (07.17.14)
''Source: IDF units operating in Gaza since op began'' ,... ''Israeli navy, Shayetet 13 launch more than 20 missions against rocket-launching positions, including ground operations'' ,... Smells like a false flag to me ,...
10. Louis Fried ,...

They didn't exluded between the lines but you're too dim to note it ,...
11. Nah - Hamas doesn't store rockets in schools..
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.17.14)
...These are just fireworks for Fakestinian kids to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve.
12. "First of its kind"? That's a lie.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (07.17.14)
UNWRA does not want to be caught with its pants down this time around. It should also investigate the use of its vehicles to transport weapons, like the regular ambulances are used to do the same.
13. Crimes against humanity
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.17.14)
Hamas should be charged for DOUBLE crimes against humanity: for sending rockets over Israel's civilian population and for using their own civilians and CHILDREN as human shields. This find by UNRWA shows clearly how Hamas does not give a damn about their children.
14. hmmmm
Michael ,   Tel Aviv   (07.17.14)
i am not sure if to be amused by the supposed naivete of the UNWRA employees, or be outraged at the sheer idiocy that the group doesn't regularly check for such issues on a regular basis. I know that Israel is the all-evil satan and all, but maybe, just maybe, something it says can be correct? :/
15. To quote a classic
Boris ,   Rehovot, Israel   (07.17.14)
I'm shocked - shocked! - that gambling is going on here! On a more serious note, where did they remove the rockets *to*? If they handed it over to Hamas, then in addition to storing munitions, they're now guilty of arming terrorists as well.
16. ;) ,...
split ,   US   (07.17.14)
"UNRWA strongly condemns the group or groups responsible for placing the weapons in one of its installations," - Including those that may be involved in false flag operation working to legitimize indiscriminate bombing and on IDF PR 'facelift' ,...
17. Wow, even UNRWA has criticised Hamas...
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (07.17.14)
and I think that I even detected a little less bias in the BBC over the last couple of weeks. Don't get too excited, I only said a little but who knows, maybe the world is getting tired of being lied to by the pro-pal brigades.
18. UNWRA - naive
bernard ,   germany-israel   (07.17.14)
And you had no idea or just a glimpse of these some 20 rockets (you need a large warehouse for this) prior to your findings? Yes, go on and believe in the good and innocent of Hamas. Kinda of useful idiots - in a way .. Yes, go on and check your other premises, presto. How come that those UNWRA people soooo incredible naive?????
19. Only reason it came to light was because....
Memphis Slim ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (07.17.14)
Israel is getting ready to go in on the ground and they know the IDF will find tons of weapons in UN facilities. They can't move them now because they will get blown up doing it, so they are pre-empting the soon to be discovered news by claiming they weren't aware. How can they NOT BE AWARE THAT MISSLES ARE IN ONE OF THEIR VACANT BUILDINGS unless they allowed the terrorist scum to use it???? Investigate the UN in Gaza!!
20. UNRWA to Hamas: Hide these rockets somewhere else.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (07.17.14)
Note that these rockets weren't dismantled or destroyed, just turned over to authorities (meaning Hamas) who will just place them elsewhere. No doubt if Israel had bombed that weapons cache they would have been accused of targeting a "civilian" installation.
21. Do you remember the peace keeping
Yaara ,   Israel   (07.18.14)
forces in Yugoslavia that were invoilved in prostitution and human trafficing? In UNRWA there are also people who get big pay cheques from Hamas for turning blind eye on what they are doing. UNRWA is the most corupted international institution. They should be investigating for their actions and funding in Gaza.
22. #10 And YOU'RE too dim to write a legible English sentence,
A ,   Belgium   (07.18.14)
ignorant polak.
23. UNRWA finds rockets in one of its Gaza schoolsUN
Yonaton ,   Bet Shemesh, Israel   (07.20.14)
This just shows to what lengths Hamas will stoop to to hide its rockets and use human sheilds. They have no regard for human life and International law means nothing to them.
