"Israel Defense Forces killed five Palestinians, including a baby, who were in a school that sheltered displaced people in Gaza City on Friday, hospital officials have said. The attack brings the number of Palestinians killed by Israel to 400 since the October ceasefire took effect. Israeli troops fired over the ceasefire line which they have withdrawn to, killing the Palestinians and wounding a number more, the Palestinian civil defence said in a statement."
"The Israeli military said its soldiers had seen a number of suspicious individuals and opened fire at them. The ceasefire line refers to where Israeli troops have pulled back to under the terms of the October ceasefire deal, denoted by a long yellow line on maps and physically demarcated by yellow concrete markers on the ground. Israeli troops remain in control of about 53% of the territory and regularly conduct airstrikes in the areas it does not occupy."
