Israeli attacks in Gaza kill 34, including 11 aid seekers: Reports
As Israel’s conflict with Iran rages, it is continuing to wage deadly attacks in Gaza.
Today, a series of Israeli attacks across the enclave have killed at least 34 people so far, many of them aid seekers and civilians, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. The victims include:
- 11 people killed and more than 100 wounded in central Gaza, according to civil defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal;
- 10 people, including a woman and her children, killed in the Maghazi camp, according to Wafa;
- eight people killed in shelling in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, reports Wafa; and
- five people, including a woman and two children, killed in an attack on a tent camp in Khan Younis, according to Wafa.
Israeli tanks, drones, snipers again gun down Gaza aid seekers
Israeli forces have killed 11 Palestinians who have tried to approach aid points run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation this morning.
Health authorities say more than 100 people were wounded.
It’s very clear that Israeli forces are targeting civilians who only went to get bags of flour or boxes of food. Eyewitnesses say the soldiers used a variety of weapons, including drones and tanks. Snipers who have been deployed in nearby hills have also been gunning down the civilians.
The Israeli military claims these hungry crowds are a security threat, but these claims have been not substantiated with clear evidence.
Despite the threat and despite understanding that Israel is trapping and killing people in these humanitarian corridors, Palestinians here continue to take the risk because of the severity of the hunger crisis here.
