Eleven members of the Abu Shaaban family were killed when a bus was struck in Gaza City's Zeitoun area, according to Gaza's Hamas-run civil defence, which said they were trying to check their home. The Israeli military said troops fired on a suspicious vehicle that crossed a yellow demarcation line and continued to approach despite warning shots. The incident is the deadliest involving Israeli soldiers in Gaza since the ceasefire began eight days ago. Separately, Hamas returned the body of Israeli hostage Eliyahu Margalit, while Israel handed 15 Palestinian bodies to Gaza via the Red Cross.
