Surge in Israeli attacks across Gaza, port area targeted
There has been a noticeable surge in attacks despite the ongoing talks and political buzz suggesting a possible end to this genocide.
In the last couple of hours, a crowd gathered in the southeastern part of Khan Younis was targeted by heavy artillery, despite being positioned far from the distribution centre and even farther from Israeli tanks and armoured vehicles.
Witnesses confirm that the crowd posed no threat. People were simply waiting for food aid. Israeli jets also struck the heart of a displacement centre near the Gaza seaport.
This area serves as a refuge for many traumatised and displaced people, offering some relief from the oppressive heat of the tents.
So far, 21 people have been killed in this attack, including women, children and the elderly. Nearly double that number are severely wounded and have been rushed to hospitals.
However, conditions in these medical facilities are beyond dire due to insufficient medical staff and supplies.

Hatab worked as a photojournalist in Gaza with several media platforms and various outlets, the office said on Telegram, adding that he also organised several photo exhibitions outside Palestine to convey the catastrophic reality of Gaza.
Gaza aid site attacks: ‘They fired at us indiscriminately’
Israeli forces have killed at least 21 people and wounded 20 others while they were attempting to get desperately needed food aid in southern Gaza.
Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received the bodies of 11 people shot while returning from an aid site associated with the Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund in southern Gaza.
The killings are part of a pattern that has killed nearly 600 Palestinians near the chaotic and controversial aid distribution programme’s sites over the past month.
Ten others were killed at a United Nations aid warehouse in northern Gaza, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Yousef Mahmoud Mokheimar was walking with dozens of others when he saw troops in vehicles and tanks racing towards them. “They fired at us indiscriminately,” he said, adding he was shot in the leg, and a man was also shot while attempting to rescue him.
