A Palestinian man inspects the damage at a UN school at the Jabaliya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip after the area was hit by Israeli shelling on July 30, 2014
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned an Israeli strike on a Gaza school that killed 16 people as "unjustifiable" Wednesday, calling for those responsible to be held to account.
"This morning a UN school sheltering thousands of Palestinian families suffered a reprehensible attack," Ban said during a visit to Costa Rica.
"It is unjustifiable, and demands accountability and justice."
The school in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, which was sheltering more than 3,000 homeless people, came under attack from Israeli tank shells at dawn Wednesday.
It is the second time in a week that a UN school housing refugees has been hit, and the sixth in two weeks.
Ban accused the Israeli military of ignoring repeated communications on the location of the school.
"I want to make it clear that the exact location of this elementary school has been communicated to the Israeli military authorities 17 times, as recently as last night, just a few hours before this attack," he said.
"They are aware of the coordinates and exact location of where these people are."
Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo Solis meanwhile joined international calls for an end to the bloodshed.
"We want the immediate establishment of a UN-monitored ceasefire to enable an escape from this bloody vortex, which is an offense to humanity," he said.

Gaza Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said around 6 p.m. that an Israeli airstrike had hit Shujaiyya market, killing at least 17 and injuring 200.
Bodies were still being pulled from the rubble, with medics estimating that dozens had been killed and injured.
The strike came amid a four-hour Israeli "humanitarian ceasefire," which authorities said they would respect in areas in which forces "were not operating."
The neighborhood of Shujaiyya entered international consciousness last week after more than 70 were killed in an Israeli assault on July 20.

The Israeli military said on Wednesday that a number of soldiers were injured after explosives were detonated while they were raiding a home.
The military said in a statement that an "elite unit" was operating to "uncover offensive tunnels" and found a tunnel inside a home in the southern Gaza Strip.
As they were raiding the home, the military added, explosives were detonated, one from inside the tunnel and one from within the home.
"The explosion caused the residence to collapse and the injury of several soldiers," the statement continued.
No Palestinian militant group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
53 Israeli soldiers have been killed and dozens injured by Palestinian fighters since they launched a ground assault into the Gaza Strip two weeks ago.

The Secretary General of the leftist Palestinian People's Party on Wednesday told Ma'an that the make up of the Palestinian delegation to ceasefire talks in Cairo had not yet been decided.
"There is an agreement to form a delegation but until now it has not been formed yet," Bassam al-Salihi told Ma'an.
Al-Salihi said that he held Israel responsible for the failure to achieve a lasting ceasefire until now.
He also said that a ceasefire agreement must include end of the siege on Gaza Strip, stressing that Israel must be pressured to stop the offensive.
Al-Salihi added that the unity government formed in April must be turned into "one government" formed of all Palestinian parties.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees on Wednesday condemned an Israeli attack on one of its schools used to house thousands of internally displaced Gazans earlier the same day.
"Last night, children were killed as they slept next to their parents on the floor of a classroom in a UN designated shelter in Gaza," UNRWA's Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl said in a statement.
"Our initial assessment is that it was Israeli artillery that hit our school, in which 3,300 people had sought refuge. We believe there were at least three impacts," the statement said.
"The precise location of the Jabalia Elementary Girls School and the fact that it was housing thousands of internally displaced people was communicated to the Israeli army seventeen times ... to ensure its protection."
The statement went on to say that the incident was the sixth time an UNRWA shelter had been struck during Israel's offensive on Gaza.
"UNRWA condemns in the strongest possible terms this serious violation of international law by Israeli forces," spokesman Chris Gunness tweeted.
Gaza's health ministry said earlier that at least 16 people were killed in an Israeli shelling on a UN school in Jabaliya camp. The ministry called on UNRWA to immediately condemn the attack.
An Israeli army spokeswoman told Ma'an later that initial reports suggested Palestinian militants had fired mortar shells at Israeli soldiers from the vicinity of the school.
The Israeli army responded by firing back at the "origins of fire," the spokeswoman said.
"The incident is still being reviewed," she added.
Over 70 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces so far on the 23rd day of the Israeli offensive, bringing the three-week total above 1,300.
More than 200,000 people, or about one in eight Gazans, have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the assault.

Despite a four-hour humanitarian ceasefire that began at 3:00 p.m., Israeli forces on Wednesday afternoon shelled a market in Shujaiyya as well as number of homes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 27.
Gaza Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said around 6 p.m. that an Israeli airstrike had hit Shujaiyya market, killing at least 15 including a journalist.
Bodies were still being pulled from the rubble, with medics estimating that dozens had been killed and injured.
That attack brought the toll since the ceasefire to at least 27, with 12 killed earlier including Muhammad Wissam Dardona, Hussam al-Najjas, Hussam Muhammad al-Najjar, Shaaban Abdulaziz al-Jamal and Alaa Judi Khader.
Strikes were reported in Juhr al-Dik, al-Bureir, Deir al-Balah, and many other districts across Gaza.
The violation of the ceasefire came after Israeli forces killed more than 70 Palestinians earlier in the day.

Yoav Mordechai, Israel's coordinator of government activities in the Palestinian Territories, said earlier that Israeli forces would stop attacks for four hours starting at 3 p.m.
Mordechai said Israeli forces would only target areas where rockets were being fired at Israel.
An Israeli army statement added that the "humanitarian window will not apply to the areas in which (army) soldiers are currently operating."
"Residents must not return to areas that have previously been asked to evacuate," the statement said, adding the the army would respond to all fire from Palestinian militants throughout the limited ceasefire.
It was not immediately clear whether Palestinian factions would respect the limited, brief truce.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said that Israel imposed the ceasefire only for "media consumption."
Abu Zohri said the truce was "worthless" given that it excluded parts of the Gaza Strip where Israeli forces were operating.
Earlier in the day, Israeli forces killed over 70 Palestinians, bringing the total number of Gazans killed since the beginning of the offensive up past 1,300.
The deadliest Israeli attack on Wednesday was a shelling on a UN-designated shelter in Jabaliya refugee camp which left at least 16 dead.
Chris Gunness, the spokesman for the UN's Palestinian refugee agency, condemned the attack in a statement made on Twitter.
"UNRWA condemns in the strongest possible terms this serious violation of international law by Israeli forces," Gunness said.
"Precise location of Jabalia Elementary Girls School Gaza & that it housed 3,000 displaced was communicated to Israeli army 17 times," he said in another tweet.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Tuesday that nearly 5,000 homes had been destroyed in Gaza as of late Monday, a number expected to rise amid renewed bombardment.
Ministry spokesman in Gaza Ashraf al-Qidra said that a total of 4,987 homes have been completely destroyed by Israeli shelling and airstrikes in the last 22 days.
26,270 homes, meanwhile, have been partially destroyed, of which 4,136 are no longer suitable for habitation.
The statements come after Israeli authorities gave evacuation orders to more than 400,000 residents of northern Gaza on Monday, including two major neighborhoods in Gaza City.
The United Nations said on Tuesday that 215,000 Gazans had fled their homes amid the bloodiest Israeli assault on the besieged coastal enclave since 2009.
All borders in and out of Gaza, however, are completely shut, forcing the majority to take shelter in UN-designated shelters.
Last week, Israel shelled four UN shelters, killing more than 20 and injuring dozens.

Israeli army says it targeted 'militants near UN school'
An Israeli army spokeswoman responded to inquiries into Wednesday's school shelling incident by saying that initial reports suggested that Palestinian militants had fired mortar shells at Israeli soldiers from the vicinity of the school in Jabaliya camp.
Israeli forces responded by firing back at the "origins of fire," the spokeswoman told Ma'an.
"The incident is still being reviewed," she added.
At least 16 Palestinians who were taking shelter in the UNRWA school were killed in the Israeli shelling, according to the Ministry of Health.

Gaza's Ministry of Interior Wednesday called upon the UN agency for Palestinian refugees to condemn the latest deadly shelling of a UN school.
"Many UNRWA schools have been targeted on the heads of people taking shelter in them," the interior ministry said in a statement.
"Dozens have been killed and UNRWA has not condemned any of these crimes," it added.
The statement also said the UN's immediate condemnation of the storage of weapons in its facilities "gave Israel the favor it had been waiting for to justify its crimes against civilians."
UNRWA announced late Tuesday that it had found rockets stored in one of its schools, condemning the groups responsible.
The ministry statement came after an Israeli shelling on a UN school in Jabaliya killed at least 16 people early Wednesday.
UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness did condemn the previous Israeli shelling of a UN school, which killed over a dozen in Beit Hanoun last Thursday.
Israel days later admitted to shelling the school, but said forces fired at the schoolyard when it was empty, and "rejected" reports of high civilian casualties.
Throughout the 23-day offensive Israel has repeatedly struck mosques, civilian homes, hospitals, and schools, but officials insist the army does not target civilians, and say militant groups in Gaza use civilians as human shields.
But critics note that Gaza is one of the most densely-packed population centers in the world, saying Israel's relentless bombing is bound to kill scores of civilians whether or not the human shields argument holds water.
According to rights groups, about 80 percent of the nearly 1,300 Palestinians killed in the ongoing Gaza offensive have been civilians.
