News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has called on Israel to investigate the death of 32-year-old Wafa al-Daghma.  Al-Daghma worked as a teacher in a UN-run school in Gaza. She was killed in southern Gaza last week as IDF forces clashed with local terrorists.

Daghma’s children, who were hiding during the clashes, say they heard an explosion from the front of the house and later found their mother’s body. Local Arabs accused IDF soldiers of killing Daghma by blasting open the door of the house in order to use the building as an observation point, although none reported witnessing her death. IDF spokesmen said they would investigate the claims.
