Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that Israeli forces killed nine people in an attack on a bus on Friday, while the military stated it had fired at a vehicle that crossed the so-called “yellow line”, AFP reports.

“Civil defence crews were able to recover nine bodies following the Israeli occupation’s targeting of a bus carrying displaced persons east of the Zeitun neighbourhood yesterday,” Mahmud Bassal, a spokesman for the agency, which operates under Hamas authority, told AFP.
