Gaza's civil defense agency said Israeli shelling on a school-turned-shelter killed five people on Friday, while the military said it had fired at "suspicious individuals."
Spokesman for the agency, Mahmud Bassal, told AFP that "five martyrs have been recovered as a result of the Israeli shelling of the shelter at the Gaza Martyrs School," in the Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.
When asked by AFP about the incident, the Israeli military said that "during operational activity in the area of the Yellow line in the northern Gaza Strip, a number of suspicious individuals were identified in command structures west of the Yellow line."
