Israele ammette finalmente la responsabilità della morte del lavoratore delle Nazioni Unite bulgaro a Gaza

>The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have acknowledged that an Israeli tank shell was responsible for the death of Marin **Marinov**, a **Bulgarian** citizen and UN employee, in **Gaza** on March 19. **Marinov** was killed when a building belonging to the United Nations in Deir al-Balah, in central **Gaza**, was hit during Israeli military operations in the area.

>According to a statement released by the Israeli military, preliminary findings indicate that their forces targeted the building based on an assessment of enemy presence. However, the structure was not identified as a UN facility. Until now, **Israel** had denied involvement in the incident.

>The case is currently under investigation by an independent body within the Israeli army’s General Staff, which examines unusual incidents during military operations as part of its fact-finding mechanism.

>Earlier this week, experts had suggested that **Marinov**’s death and the injuries of five other UN staff members were likely caused by two tank shells. The incident marks the second time in recent days that the IDF has admitted to mistakenly killing humanitarian workers in Gaza. The other involved Red Cross medics who were misidentified as Hamas operatives despite being unarmed and in clearly marked ambulances. Disciplinary measures were taken against the unit’s commanders in that case.
