Some two dozen masked gunmen targeted a Hamas Gaza summer camp on Sunday, destroying tents and other property, burning the facility where tens of thousands of Gazan children were slated to enjoy summer repose. The gunmen explained they deplore the “immorality” at the UN-sponsored summer camp that was not in line with Islam’s strict modest code. In short, the camp was too secular and not Muslim enough.

UN Secretary-General Bank ki-Moon condemned the attack, accusing the gunmen of targeting “Gaza’s most defenseless population”, demanding that Gaza security agencies do their part to ensure the safety of UN officials operating in that area.
