The United Nations says one of its staff members was killed and another injured as they travelled to a hospital in southern Gaza on Monday.

It said the workers were travelling in a UN vehicle to the European Hospital near Rafah when it was struck.

The UN did not mention who it thought was responsible for the attack.

The Israeli military said an initial inquiry indicated the vehicle was struck in an active combat zone and it had not been made aware of its route.

Footage posted on social media and verified by the BBC shows a marked UN vehicle with multiple bullet holes outside the European Hospital.

    And you’re presuming it was one of those three branches without evidence to that effect. Lot of presuming going on here.

      So you’re saying that Hamas may have specifically targeted a UN vehicle, something they’ve never been found to have done since Oct 7?

      A quick reminder that the IDF has been found to have targeted clearly labelled NGO vehicles, killing people who were simply trying to feed Palestinians.

        Hamas: paragons of virtue, they’d never do something so uncouth as to target foreign nationals or innocents.

        I’m saying you shouldn’t make up a story without evidence and you should save your outrage until the facts are in. It’s not complicated. You don’t know what happened. Stop pretending you do.

        You are clearly eager to blame Israel without evidence.
