How this transcription was made

The scan is the four-line headline and the three-line summary; there is no body text on it to transcribe.

Context added by this archive

Two sentences and four agents, none of them a person. Shells hit, blasts kill. The only people with a verb in the whole block are the residents, and what they do is thought — they thought there was a ceasefire. On the facing page the same paper ran a photograph of a girl in Jabalia over a caption that counted 1,300 dead (CP-2014-011).
