Israeli forces fire at bus, nine people killed: Gaza civil defence

Israeli forces killed nine people in an attack on a bus on Friday, said Gaza’s civil defence agency on Saturday.

However, the Israeli military said it had fired at a vehicle that crossed the so-called “yellow line”.

“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 on Saturday.
