Israeli troops kill Palestinians for crossing vague ceasefire line that’s sometimes...

Key Highlights

• Among them were teenagers and young children, the Associated Press found.
• And although the military has placed some yellow barrels and concrete barriers delineating the limits of the Palestinian zone, the line is still unmarked in certain places and in others was laid nearly half a kilometre (0.3 miles) deeper than what was agreed to in the ceasefire deal, expanding the part of Gaza that Israel controls, according to Palestinians and mapping experts.
• “We stay away from the barrels.
• No one dares to get close,” said Gaza City resident Ahmed Abu Jahal, noting that the markers are less than 100 metres (110 yards) from his house — instead of the roughly 500 metres (546 yards) outlined in a map put out by the Israeli military.
• As of Tuesday, the military had acknowledged killing 57 people around the yellow line, saying most were militants.
