The children were killed when a missile struck outside their home.
The five children were reported killed at Al-Falluja cemetery, not outside their home. Multiple sources describe them as being in or near the cemetery, including at a grandfather's grave, when the strike hit.
Full reasoning
This sentence misstates where the children were killed. The Associated Press reported that the explosion was in a cemetery, and said the children had gathered there, including at their grandfather's grave. Amnesty International likewise states that a missile hit Al-Falluja cemetery in Jabalia and identifies the five children killed there. That directly contradicts the article's claim that the missile struck outside their home.

killing all the medics.
Not all the medics were killed. Credible reports say at least one paramedic survived and was detained, and another medic was later confirmed to be detained in Israel.
Full reasoning
The phrase "killing all the medics" is inaccurate because reporting on the Rafah ambulance attack identified surviving medics. The Guardian's visual timeline says one survivor, Munther Abed, was detained and interrogated after the first ambulance came under fire, and later reports that Abed said he saw the missing Red Crescent worker Assad al-Nsasrah alive in Israeli detention. Amnesty International also reported that one of the paramedics was detained by Israeli forces and then released on 23 March, and that one further PRCS paramedic remained missing at the time. Those facts contradict the claim that the gunfire killed all the medics.
