Israel's attack on UN-run school in Gaza - 07 Jan 09

At least 43 people were killed and at least 100 others wounded when Israeli tanks fired on Palestinian refugees sheltering at a UN-run school in Jabaliya, in the north of the strip.

Israel says it was targeting Palestinian fighters it claims were using the school as cover.

Hannah Belcher reports on the attack - one of the most controversial talking points since Israel began its war on Gaza twelve days ago.

Gaza families mourn dead after UN school bombed - 07 Jan 09

In the 12 days of Israel's war on Gaza, the shelling of a United Nations school on Tuesday has been the most shocking incident. More than 40 people were killed. Israel claims the school was a legitimate target because rockets were fired from it.

But the UN has vehemently denied those claims.

Al Jazeera is the only international news channel with correspondents on both sides of the border. Ayman Mohyeldin visited what's left of the school, and the families now in mourning.
