The UN was in the way? The UN was standing between Israel and their target and Israel decided that if they were in the way, oh well, too bad. It wouldn't be the first, nor the last, that Israel has ignored the UN. You wanted the simplest answer, there it is.

To swallow the line that it was a mistake would require you to believe that the post in question did NOT make 10 calls to alert Israel of the shelling proximity to their location AND the fact that the post had been there for 40 years. So what was that about the simplest answer being the correct one?
