JERUSALEM (CNN) — One person was killed and three were wounded Wednesday when an Israeli airstrike targeted a metal shop in Rafah, according to Palestinian security and medical sources. Israel Defense Forces confirmed the airstrike. The person killed was the deputy commander of the Islamic Jihad military wing, according to the Palestinian sources, who said he also served as a school headmaster at a U.N. Relief and Works Agency school. UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunnes said he could not immediately confirm that the person was employed by the United Nations, but said staff members who bring politics into U.N. institutions are fired immediately, as that is a violation of staff rules. |
