Israeli attack on school

Five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced people in the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City.



The Palestinian ⁠civil emergency service said in a statement that most of the killed were children, and added that a number of wounded had been transferred to hospitals for treatment.



The civil emergency service said ⁠they were only able to recover the bodies after the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs coordinated with the Israelis.



The Israel Defense Forces said, in relation to the attack, that a number of what it said were suspicious individuals had been identified ⁠in command structures outside the designated ceasefire line, and its troops fired at them.



Palestinian militant group Hamas called the attack a "brutal crime" and another violation of the ceasefire agreement.
