Gaza city: Five Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced people in the Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, on Friday evening.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Palestinian Civil Defense stated in a press release that "most of the dead were children, in addition to several wounded who were transferred to hospitals for treatment."

Hamas described the attack as a "brutal crime" and said it was a "blatant and renewed violation of the ceasefire agreement."

With the deaths of these five, the Ministry of Health reports that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire has risen to 400 since the ceasefire began last October.
