Footage shows terrorists using UN-marked vehicle

[drdon326]

The Israel Defense Forces released video footage Friday taken by an unmanned aircraft showing what appeared to be Palestinians in the Gaza Strip loading rockets into a vehicle marked "U.N."

The black-and-white footage, taken by a drone - or unmanned aircraft - flying over the Gaza Strip, showed the militants driving off in the white van, with "U.N." marked in black on its roof.

The IDF is furious at the United Nations representatives in the Gaza Strip, "who continuously stress that they are an international organization and of course is not in any way involved in terrorism," Channel 1 TV quoted IDF officials as saying.

Israel has often accused terrorists of using United Nations vehicles and headquarters to launch attacks. U.N. officials were not immediately available for comment.

Palestinian terrorists using the good graces of the UN to launch
attacks ??

I find that hard to believe.:eyes:

1. Maybe they really WERE UN employees.

Or maybe the militants are now ashamed to use ambulances and baby carriages.

Yeah, that must be it.

[SoCalDem]

2. OR....

maybe the vehicle was stolen from the UN, or maybe...they painted it to LOOK LIKE a UN vehicle..

People do not give enough "credit" to the insurgents/terrorists.. They are NOT stupid people.. The ones who carry out the suicide bombings may not be highly educated, but the ones who plan these things are not lacking in the smarts department..

Some reporter in Iraq, said that there were Humvees and even Bradleys for sale in Iraq..along with uniforms and weapons.. The black market always thrives in a war zone.

3. Add that to the list....

things pal. terrorists use to kill innocent israelis:

men
women
teenagers
12 year olds
ambulances
baby carriages
shipping containers

and now...

UN painted vehicles.


The ICJ must be busy doing something else.

4. Uh oh...

The UN better watch out, sounds like the IDF is making a case for the NEXT time they unload on a UN convoy.

And Don, its ICJ, not IJC.

5. Was there a 1st time?(nt)

[IA_Seth]

7. Yep

As I recall the IDF "accidentally" shot at a UN Convoy that was checking on an orchard that had been bulldozed by the IDF. There were "terrorists" in the area, and the IDF must have been confused.

Edit:

I found a link, here it is:

9. UN units and personnel..

are rather routinely hit in the OPT. Not as frequently as Gazans (who are quietly murdered practically every day), but semi-regularly.
