You better believe the Israelis knew they were blowing up a UN food warehouse. Hell, even the Taliban didn't attack UN targets. I guess they must be running out of stuff to blow up...so they resort to UN humanitarian relief buildings. Not to mention the fact that they killed a top UNRWA relief worker recently...some sort of sick, twisted declaration of war against the UN humanitarian relief agencies?

It was considered a routine operation, similar to many Israeli army forays into Palestinian areas over the past two years — locate a building believed to be used by terrorists and destroy it.
This three-story building in this northern Gaza town, however, had enough flour, cooking oil and rice stored on its ground floor to feed 38,000 people for a month. The goods belonged to the U.N.-affiliated World Food Program.
Israeli troops blew it up anyway.
"The timing (of the operation) was really bad. We'd just filled the warehouse with food and had started distributing it," said Pascal Le Francois, a WFP coordinator for Gaza. About 3,000 people already had received their monthly rations.

Impeccable timing, you better believe that it wasn't a coincidence...they knew full-well what they were doing, they are smart people.
