Gaza’s government rejects US claim about attack on GHF

The Hamas government’s Media Office in Gaza has firmly rejected the claim by the US State Department that resistance fighters threw grenades at US workers of the aid group the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), injuring them.

“These misleading allegations are nothing but a blatant attempt to justify the continued killing and starvation of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and represent a dangerously full alignment with the Israeli military narrative that, since the start of the war, has sought to legitimise the crimes committed against Gaza’s civilian population by fabricating security narratives to justify the excessive use of force against civilians,” it said in a statement.

It called the GHF an “intelligence-security front” that “oversees the death traps in the Gaza Strip” and pointed out that the controversial organisation has been disavowed by more than 165 international aid groups that have been sidelined from delivering aid to the enclave by Israel.

The office said at least 751 Palestinians have been killed, 4,931 others injured, and 39 disappeared while trying to get food from GHF sites.

Minor damage to buildings surrounding Gaza after rocket attack

A rocket fall was detected inside Nirim after sweeping operations conducted by the Israeli army, according to the Eshkol Settlements Council, which is located near the separation barrier with Gaza.

Israel’s Channel 12 cited the local authority as saying the rocket caused minor damage to several buildings, with no casualties recorded. Israeli media published photos, verified for their recentness by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency, claiming they document the damage to buildings in the kibbutz.

Michal Oziah, the head of the Eshkol Settlements Council, said local authorities expect an investigation into the failure that prevented the activation of the interception system.
