In our news wrap Wednesday, the shelling of a United Nations school in Gaza drew widespread condemnation, including from the White House. Israeli defense spokesman Peter Lerner said his country’s forces acted only in response to a mortar shell launched at them from near the school. Also, Liberia shut down its schools and quarantined communities in hopes of stopping an Ebola outbreak.
