Masked gunmen from an Islamist group torched a UN-run summer camp for children and teens in Gaza on Sunday, Army Radio reported, the top UN aid official in Gaza said.[emphasis added]
John Ging says the assailants tied up the guard early Sunday, burned tents and vandalized bathrooms. UN officials say the attackers left behind three bullets and a note threatening to kill Ging and others unless the UN cancels its activities for some 250,000 Gaza children.
Two days before the incident, the previously unknown "The Free of the Homeland" group issued a statement criticizing the camp's organizer, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), for "teaching schoolgirls fitness, dancing and immorality."
UNRWA responded to the destruction, saying Gazan youths suffer from heightened stress, and need opportunities like this summer camp, calling the perpetrators of the act, “people who hate life and children.”
Sure now they notice.
What they apparently did not notice is that telling terrorists that they hate life is a compliment.

Ironic, in view of the fact Hamas loves death more than life. So a summer camp would detract from their ideology.
UNRWA doesn't understand them any more than it understands the people it serves.
Hamas did not take credit for this, but then again, they are the ones in control.
