New Israeli drone attack on southern Gaza ‘safe zone’ and hospital
An unspecified number of Palestinians have been wounded in an Israeli drone attack on a tent housing displaced people in the al-Mawasi area near Khan Younis.
The Nasser Hospital complex, also in Khan Younis, was damaged as a result of an Israeli air strike that targeted a nearby house, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report.
The displacement camp at al-Mawasi – repeatedly described as a “safe” area by Israel – is one of the most overcrowded regions in Gaza, devastated by 21 months of relentless bombardment.
Death toll in Gaza rises to 51 since dawn
Medical sources in hospitals across Gaza tell Al Jazeera at least 51 people have been killed in Israeli attacks since this morning. The death toll includes at least 14 Palestinians killed near the Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s aid centre in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza.
At least 120 people seeking food have now been killed by Israeli gunfire at the aid sites since they opened on May 27, according to Gaza authorities.
Israel using gangs to ‘engineer chaos’ at Gaza aid sites: Monitor
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has accused Israel of recruiting local gangs and foreign mercenaries to deliberately sow chaos at aid distribution points in Gaza.
In a new report, the group said the armed groups are being deployed to intimidate civilians, loot aid, and discredit Palestinian governance under the guise of internal collapse.
It warned this tactic aims to shift blame away from Israel’s crippling blockade and bombardment, and instead present Palestinians as incapable of managing humanitarian aid.
The organisation called for urgent international oversight of aid operations and an investigation into the systematic use of violence against civilians at relief sites.
