the u.n. is supposed to be responsible for palestinians until they have achieved their inalienable rights. not until they achieve alienabl. -- you know, you can call anything a state. it does not make it viable. does not make it just. does not make it any of those things. bits ofpoint to territory that are not contiguous -- if you can imagine swiss cheese, the israeli controlled parts are the cheese. the palestinian areas are the holes. meaning they are the ones that are not contiguous. the israeli territories are contiguous. you can get from there to there. sharon, long known as the roleer of beirut for his in the slaughter of citizens during the war of 1982, was very creative when it diplomacy. he talked about transportation all contiguity. what? it means if you can get from there,o dare -- there to you can say it is contiguous. aen if you have to fly in helicopter, even if you have to go through an underground tunnel, even if you have to go over a bridge through someone else's land -- but i

u.n. shelters, u.n.ools seem to be a target ask israel usually initially denies it and end up having to admit culpability and blaming hamas for a variety of reasons, but ultimately israel has a habit of targeting these u.n. shelters and u.n. schools and it's simply unacceptable. >> why do you think it has a habit of targeting a place where civilians are very clearly taking shelter? >> the only reason i can think of is every conflict they wage the civilians represent such a vast majority of casualties, that i think their strategy must be to try to turn the civilian population against hamas or in lebanon against hess bowl actually think that is a strategy, to wage such a heavy price on the civilian population that they think it will turn against the domestic factions involved. but this is -- these are war crimes. it's unacceptable. it's collective punish. but unfortunately the international community doesn't bear anywhere near pressure israel to stop these, so that's why they continue. >> on the internatio

staff and u.n. premises among other u.n. facilities.he secretary general repeats his demand to the parties to immediately end the fighting and return to the path of peace. this madness must stop. our correspondent has been to the site of the attack in rafah, and here is his eyewitness report. >> we spoken to witnesses who have pretty much confirmed the u.n.'s version of events which is basically a drone targeted two people on what is believed to be a motorcycle and a number of people were killed and injured. in fact, i am going to have my cameraman show you where this drone hit. we understand that it was a hell fire missile. you can tell it's a fairly small hole, fairly small point where it targeted, but again, we are hearing at least 10 people killed and many, many more injured. let me just give you an idea just how close it is to this u.n. school which has been used as a shelter for several weeks now. a shelter where more than 3,000 people displaced by this conflict live, many of them children. in fact, let's take a look at this schoo

the u.n.alled an israeli air strike on school on sunday a moral outrage and a criminal act. at least ten people were killed in that strike. and the usa department called it disgraceful and the strongest attack on civilians so far in this offensive. israel offensive stretched in the 28th day and the human cost continues to rise, 64 israeli soldiers have been killed and three civilians and one of whom is a ty national and gaza health ministry says 1827 men, women and children have been killed. u.n. estimates around 80% of them are civilians. more than 9,400 gaza have been injured including more than 2700 children. and more than a quarter of a million people are taking refuge in u.n. shelters. let's hear the latest from gaza and we call our correspondent live in a village and we have this sort of patchy humanitarian truce in gaza. you are in an area where it seems to be holding for now at least, what are you seeing? >> it is holding here actually. it's the first time that people have got in the a

the u.n. agency denounced the attack. there's no doubt that insufficient measures of precaution and control and protection are taken. including by the israeli defence force when engaging in gaza. >> the work is almost complete, and ground troops will be deployed. israel says it will not participate in ceasefire talks. the israeli ambassador says the priority now is to see that hamas is unable to rearm in the future. >> we don't want to see us leaving, allowing hamas to use the time to rearm thousands of rockets, more tunnels, we have to hake sure we have an effective mechanism to prevent rearming. >> the european union is calling for the bloodshed to stop, and is pushing israeli and palestinian leaders to work towards a political solution, a few that the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. supports. >> if we allow for suppose to take place, negotiation to take place. under the leadership of mahmoud abbas, if we empower this government, we will be able to move gradually from the situation of conpron takes and fighting -- co

u.n. was not able to play the role that the charter gives it, the charter of the united nations, the fundamental core of international law says that the role of the united nations is to end the scourge of war. period. not to end the scourge of war when the victims are anybody except palestinians because, you do, we don't really have to pay attention to palestinians. it doesn't say that there is this the work of the united nations, the goal is to end the scourge of war. but to do that the united nations has to be allowed in. they have to be allowed to play that role. they have to have the power to impose a cease-fire when one or another warning sign decide they don't need a cease-fire get. so that's the same. what was different in 2008-2009, there were many differences, in both cases gaza and the government forces in gaza led by hamas were quite isolated. that was not the case we should note in 2012 or and a much shorter israeli assault in november 2012 which was in a period in a very brief

we have yet another u.n. shelter hit by idf forces. u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon is calling it a moral outrage. the us state department is denouncing the attack. how was this allowed to happen again? >> we're investigating, trying to ascertain what happened. our preliminary reports say there was no shelling of the u.n. facility. that there was a combat operation outside the u.n. facility, and we'll find out whether or not it was our fault that bystanders were hit. apparently we were going for a specific and legitimate terrorist target, three leading activists from the islamic jihad movement. but we'll look into it. we don't want to see a single civilian killed in this conflict. that's not our goal. in this particular case, it must be said that when you talk about u.n. facilities, that hamas has had a deliberate policy of abusing u.n. neutrality, aabusing u.n. humanitarian work. there have been three documented cases by the u.n. itself of hamas storing rockets in u.n. facilities. and as the director of the agency that deals with these

u.n. says was hit by israeli munitions, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 20 civilians. it was the third attack on a school in just about a week. but israel tonight is pushing back pointing to new video like this. here the israeli defense forces discover a stockpile of weapons in the entrance of one of hamas' infamous secret tunnels all inside of what is purported to be a house of worship. and the israelis we spoke with pointed "the kelly file" to a whole series of videos that have not been seen on american television. they show the uphill battle for israel's military. trace gallagher has more on that. >> much of about what about to see is from the perspective of hamas beginning with the subject of human shields. we know that israeli policy has long been to drop warning leaflets, even make warning phone calls to residential areas that are abotargeted. in response here's what hamas says. >> translator: we call on our palestinian people, particularly the residents of northwest gaza, no

couple with the u.n. statement from the u.n. ban ki moon who called this a moral outrage and a criminal act, clearly the international community led by the united nations and the united states is becoming very, very impatient with the israeli government with respect to these civilian casualties, the israeli government, of course, says, kate, they don't target civilians and in many cases these are errant strikes that take out civilians near these facilities, kate. >> i want to know what you're hearing from the white house as well. there are some suggesting this morning this humanitarian cease-fire put in place by israel is somewhat in response to the strong international criticism coming in because of that strike. what are you hearing from the white house? >> reporter: you know, not really hearing anything about that. it is interesting that this humanitarian cease-fire is coming just hours really after this outrage started pouring in. i suppose that question will be asked. you veal the state department spokeswoman jen psaki in la

a u.n.chool hit, a marketplace became an instant killing ground. >> the reality of gaza today is that no place is safe. >> the u.s. called for israeli forces to do more to protect civilians. >> the shelling of a u.n. facility that is housing innocent civilians who are fleeing violence is totally unacceptable and totally indefensible. and it is clear that we need our allies in israel to do more to live up to the high standards that they have set for themselves. >> the pentagon is resupplying israel with tank, mortar grenades and other stocks. israel buying more rounds like these to light up the gaza sky at night. >> we're worried about civilian casualties. >> the blame lies with hamas using civilians as human shields. retired u.s. army general says a.m. u nation is part of u.s. policy for supporting israel, but the weapons used were never planned for urban areas. >> for artillery and mortars, you can fire several miles away. you don't have the resolution of knowing exactly what you're going t

a strike on a u.n. school being used as a shelter drew strong condemnation from both the united states and the united nations. nine people were killed. the obama administration called the strike disgraceful. the state department says it was appalled. the u.n. called it a gross violation of international humanitarian law. the israeli military says the strike targeted three members of islamic jihad on a motorcycle. this is the deputy secretary-general of the united nations. he's joining us live from the u.n. secretary-general, thank you for joining us. israel says it's reviewing what happened at that u.n. shelter. can you tell us what the united nations knows about it? >> well, first of all, we know the tragic consequences of the bombing and the nine or ten people killed and the 27 or so wounded. but the information that we have gathered from our people on the ground point very strongly to the direction of this being an israeli attack. >> and if the israelis say, as they do, that three members of islamic

this is now the third time that a u.n. school which is being used to shelter refugees has been hit, resulting in multiple fatalities. >> why then would hamas fire rockets, previous ceasefires have ended because of it. surely they would know the idf would respond. does hamas think it's winning the battle? what does it gain from that? >> yeah, they absolutely do. they think they're winning. you see it all the time here on hamas television. they're glorifying their wins. they think as long as the fires keep firing into israel, the ability to fire those rockets, as far as the militants in gaza are concerned, that means they're still standing and they are winning this conflict with israel. you can make your own assessment on that. in the past, israel has declared humanitarian windows. there was a four-hour window last week. hamas didn't agree to it. they're not prepared to stop firing to give the israelis a chance to redeploy their forces under a guise of a humanitarian window. and says they will fight this war as they intend t
