Palestinian killed, eight wounded by Israeli attack at aid distribution centre

A Palestinian was killed and eight were wounded by an Israeli attack on civilians waiting for aid east of Khan Younis, Nasser Medical Complex has confirmed.

The incident adds to a growing list of deadly attacks targeting Palestinians seeking humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

Earlier, the hospital reported that Israeli forces killed at least 21 people and wounded 20 more as they tried to access desperately needed food aid in southern Gaza.

In a rare admission, the Israeli army acknowledged that Palestinian civilians have been shot dead by soldiers at aid distribution centres in Gaza.


Israel plans to deploy additional military division in Gaza

Israeli media are reporting that the government is preparing to intensify its assault on Gaza by deploying an additional military division to the besieged enclave.

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir outlined the next phase of the war during a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

The move would bring the total number of Israeli military divisions operating inside Gaza to five in what is widely considered to be a major escalation.

Security officials quoted in the report said the Israeli army confirmed: “All air force and ground forces capabilities are now available after the completion of the operation in Iran.”
