On Tuesday, Hebrew-language media outlets revealed that the five children who were killed in Jabalia refugee camp on the second day of the Israeli occupation offensive against Gaza were killed by Israeli airstrikes.

The Hebrew newspaper, Haaretz, reported that "an investigation conducted by the Israeli occupation authorities concluded that no shells were fired from the Gaza Strip during that period, but rather the Israeli planes bombed the area and killed the children."

The Israeli occupation ambassador to the United Nations had claimed during a Security Council meeting that "Israel did not kill the five children in Jabalia, northern Gaza."
