Researchers say Israel routinely attacks areas it instructed people to flee to
Forensic Architecture, a UK-based research group, says it has documented “a pattern of Israeli attacks” on areas that it told Palestinian civilians in Gaza to evacuate to.
“Our research confirms that the Israeli military carried out multiple attacks in areas towards which civilians had been directed, either on the same day as the evacuation order, or on the day after,” the group said on social media.
In one example, Forensic Architecture said the Israeli army told people to move west from their neighbourhoods in eastern Gaza City. The next day, it attacked a residential building to the west of the areas subject to the evacuation order.
The organisation said it documented 34 evacuation orders between March 18 and June 3 that directed “civilians from evacuation zones to undefined areas, which often later come under attack by the Israeli military”.

Injured Palestinian boy recounts attack on Gaza aid site
UNICEF has shared a video of a Palestinian boy who suffered serious injuries after Israeli soldiers fired at people trying to get desperately needed aid at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation site in the enclave.
“The pole next to me was targeted with a shell. The shrapnel flew into my abdomen and back,” Abed Al Rahman, 13, told the UN agency.
“I still have shrapnel inside my body that they couldn’t remove. I’m in real pain,” he said, laying on his bed, his body covered in bandages. “Since 6am, I have been asking for painkillers but they don’t have any. There’s nothing to hep me.”
