No sooner than the White House condemned the shelling of a United Nations-operated school in Gaza on Wednesday did news break that the Pentagon will supply the "Israeli" military with new ammunition to further their campaign on the war-ravaged city.

US to Supply ’Israel’ with more Ammunition

That afternoon, CNN reported that the United States military will be honoring a request from "Israel" for assistance in the midst of their weeks-long aggression on the besieged Gaza strip.

According to the network, Pentagon officials have confirmed that the US will honor a request from "Israel" for several types of ammunition, including 120mm mortar rounds and 40mm ammunition for grenade launchers.

"The United States condemns the shelling of a UNRWA school in Gaza, which reportedly killed and injured innocent Palestinians - including children - and UN humanitarian workers," Bernadette Meehan, a spokesperson for US President Barack Obama's National Security Council, said in a statement.
The White House neglected to blame "Israel" by name for the attack.

Pierre Krähenbühl, the commissioner-general of the UNRWA, tweeted that Wednesday's attack was the sixth time one of his organization's school have been hit by one of these strikes.

"Children, woman and men killed [and] injured as they slept in place where they should have been safe and protected. They were not. Intolerable," he wrote in one Twitter post' "Our staff leading [international] response are being killed. This is a breaking point," in another.

Last week, the UN Human Rights Council agreed to investigate the "widespread, systematic and gross violations of international human rights and fundamental freedoms" that have been attributed to "Israel" since their latest campaign on Gaza launched on June 13. Twenty-nine countries approved the motion, with the US being the only abstainer.
