Israel disclaims responsibility for killing people in shelling UN school in Gaza - ambassador to Russia

MOSCOW. July 30 (Interfax) - Israel dismisses Hamas's allegations that it is responsible for people's deaths in shelling a UN school during Operation Protective Edge, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Dorit Golender said.

"All that the Palestinians have shown in their media is a fabricated insinuation, and therefore Israel disclaims all responsibility for the number of people allegedly killed by Israel in shelling this school," Golender said at a press conference at the Interfax main office on Wednesday.

"Following an investigation conducted by the Israeli army, it turned out that the UNRWA school was fired upon when the school was empty," Golender said.
