5 children were killed in Jabaliya
Yesterday (Saturday) at around 10:00 p.m. it was reported in Gaza that five Palestinian children had been killed in an IDF attack in Jablia, in the north of the Gaza Strip.

However, on the other hand, videos were published on Israeli networks who document the event, and prove beyond any doubt that the IDF is not responsible for the children's deaths.
The IDF stated: "We did not attack in Jabaliya at that time, the children were probably hit by a failed shot by the Palestinians." The videos, as mentioned, prove that this indeed happened.
