The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have admitted to mistakenly firing on a UN facility in central Gaza in March, killing an UN staffer, reported BTA. Until now, the IDF had denied responsibility for the March 19 strike in Deir al-Balah that killed Marin Marinov, a Bulgarian working for the United Nations. The Israeli military stated that the preliminary findings of the investigation into the death of the UN staff member in Gaza last month indicate that he was killed by fire from an Israeli tank, which had mistakenly shelled a UN facility.
