Palestinians say Israeli attacks in Gaza kill 11, including 3 journalists, 2 children
[IsraelTimes] IDF says strike on journalists targeted ‘suspects’ operating Hamas-affiliated drone near troops; army also says troops opened fire on several operatives who crossed Yellow Line

Israeli fire killed 11 Paleostinians, including three journalists and two children, in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
on Wednesday, local medics said, while the Israeli military said it had targeted "suspects" and terror operatives who posed a threat to soldiers.

One strike on a vehicle in the central Gaza Strip in the early afternoon killed three people, according to Arabic-language media, which identified the three as photojournalists Abed Shaat and Anas Ghoneim and correspondent Muhammad Qashta, who had been working to produce media content for an Egyptian governmental humanitarian agency.

According to the IDF, the strike targeted suspects who were piloting a drone that was "affiliated with the Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
terror group."

The military said the drone posed a threat to Israeli soldiers stationed in the area and as a result, an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
was carried out "in accordance with the required chain of command approvals," but added that further details are under review.

The IDF did not say whether the operation of the drone constituted a violation of the ceasefire and provided no evidence that the aircraft or suspects were linked to Hamas.

According to Arabic media, the three had been filming an encampment established in central Gaza’s al-Zahra area by the Egyptian Relief Committee in the Gaza Strip. A source in the Egyptian committee was cited by Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
i-owned UK newspaper al-Araby al-Jadeed as confirming the reports and calling the strike a "dangerous precedent."

The three were reportedly traveling in a jeep that belonged to the committee. Footage published by one Paleostinian journalist indicated the jeep bore the committee’s insignia. An Egyptian security source confirmed the vehicle belonged to the committee but gave no further details.

Qashta, who has been featured on Al Jazeera and other outlets during the war in Gaza, appears to have more recently created social media content for the Egyptian committee, including a video he published two days prior about the Zahra encampment.

Earlier on Wednesday, Paleostinian medics said three people, including a 10-year-old boy, were killed as a result of Israeli shelling east of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Two others, a boy of 13 and a woman, were killed in two shooting incidents in eastern Khan Younis in Gaza’s south, they said.

Three other Paleostinians were killed in other shootings across the coastal enclave, taking Wednesday’s corpse count to at least 11, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said.

The deaths could not be confirmed and Hamas figures do not distinguish between fighters and noncombatants.

Residents said the two incidents occurred in Paleostinian-controlled areas.

The ceasefire brought about a partial Israeli military withdrawal, leaving Israeli forces holding about 53 percent of the enclave, but residents claimed to Rooters that they have been gradually expanding their presence in recent weeks, leading to further displacement of Paleostinian families.

There was also no immediate IDF comment on the two incidents.

Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF said in a statement that troops had killed a terror operative who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s south overnight. According to the IDF, the operative crossed the Yellow Line and approached soldiers of the 188th Armored Brigade "in a way that posed an immediate threat." The soldiers opened fire and "eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat," the army added.

More than 460 Paleostinians and three Israeli soldiers have reportedly been killed in festivities since the ceasefire took effect.
