A U.N. report indicates an errant Palestinian rocket, not an Israeli airstrike, likely killed the baby of a BBC reporter during fighting in the Hamas-ruled territory last November.

The death of Omar al-Masharawi, the 11-month-old son of BBC stringer Jihad al-Masharawi, became a symbol of what Palestinians see as “Israeli aggression” during eight days of fighting that killed more than 160 Palestinians and six Israelis. A woman was killed alongside the baby.

Israel launched hundreds of airstrikes to stop Gaza rocket salvos.

The U.N. office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a March 6 report that the incident was caused by “what appeared to be a Palestinian rocket that fell short of Israel.”

Hamas had no response Monday. BBC officials were not immediately available for comment.
