1. >The Israeli military acknowledged on Thursday that it was responsible for killing a United Nations aid worker in a strike on a [UN guesthouse in Gaza](https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/19/middleeast/israel-ground-offensive-renewed-war-gaza-intl/index.html) last month, backtracking on its previous denials in the face of mounting public evidence of Israeli responsibility.

   >The Israeli military said its preliminary investigation into the incident “indicates that the fatality was caused by tank fire from IDF troops operating in the area.”

   >The strike killed Marin Marinov, a 51-year-old from Bulgaria who worked to deliver life-saving aid to the population of Gaza, the UN said. Six others were injured in the deadly attack that occurred one day after Israel renewed its bombardment of Gaza, ending a two-month ceasefire.

   >“The building was struck due to assessed enemy presence and was not identified by the forces as a UN facility,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. “The IDF regrets this serious incident and continues to conduct thorough review processes to draw operational lessons and evaluate additional measures to prevent such events in the future. We express our deep sorrow for the loss and send our condolences to the family.”

   >The Israeli military initially denied any role in the strike on the UN guesthouse and Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused the United Nations of “baseless slander” for saying Israeli tank fire was the source of the attack.

   >The United Nations welcomed the conclusion of Israel’s investigation while emphasizing the need for “accountability.”

2. “The Israeli military initially denied any role in the strike on the UN guesthouse and Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused the United Nations of “baseless slander” for saying Israeli tank fire was the source of the attack.”

   Is anybody else noticing a trend regarding IDF action that results in the death innocents or aid workers? It seems they operate with a shoot first, ask later mentality. It’s another example of Israel being given the go ahead with their ethnic cleansing.

3. Now we just wait for the usual suspects to show up and explain how the IDF has a long and proud history of claiming responsibility for the mistakes it makes and certainly wouldn’t countenance something as base as *lying* to evade any criticism of their policies towards Palestinians

4. It didnt happen ->maybe it happened -> it did happen pipeline getting quicker nowadays.

   Of course their next steps are ->they deserved it -> we’ll fuckin’ do it againt and you wont stop us.
