And israeli attack against a minibus in Gaza City has ended the lives of once gazatíes belonging to the same family, including seven minors.
Israel maintains that it was a “suspicious” vehicle that had crossed the “yellow line” imposed by the army to perimeter which areas can be traversed within the enclave.
The spokesman for the Gaza Civil Defense has regretted that the crew members were not warned before being shot and has assured that they were traveling in the vehicle two women and seven childrenin addition to two civilian men.
The Israeli armed forces, in statements to Efehave explained that the vehicle was approaching the troops, so the vehicle was perceived as “an imminent threat.”
In this situation, they claim to have fired “warning shots” and then were forced to “eliminate the threat.”
“Rape”
Hamas has condemned the massacre and has denounced that the attack constitutes a “new violation of the ceasefire” agreed between the militia and Israel within the framework of the first phase of the peace plan promoted by the American president, Donald Trump.
“Attacking defenseless civilians without justification is a total crime that reveals the premeditated intention of the Israeli occupation,” the group said in a statement.
Since the ceasefire was signed, more than 30 Gazans have been killed under the accusation of having crossed the so-called “yellow lines”.

Between this line and the border between Gaza and Israel there is a kilometer and a half in its narrowest area and about 6.5 km in its widest area. Despite having retreated to this line, Israel maintains more than 50% of the territory in Gaza under its control.
Gaza authorities maintain that These people were trying to return to their homes. after months of displacement and, in many cases, their neighborhoods are reduced to rubble.
Over the past week, several Gaza City residents have explained to Efe what They don’t know where the yellow line was exactly. and they allege that their movements are based on the information they receive from their neighbors.
The agreement between Hamas and Israel establishes that the truce covers the entire Strip and that the Israeli army must withdraw to the “yellow line”, but by invoking its legitimate defense against these supposed threats, new attacks have been justified.
For now, the situation does not affect the progress of the talks to move towards the consolidation of a second phase of the peace process promoted by Washington.
In this second phase, it is planned to outline the reconstruction mechanism of the enclave and ensure issues such as political transition in the Strip or the disarmament of Hamasthe most complex point due to the militia’s reluctance to stage what they understand as their definitive capitulation.
