At least 43 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza, Tel Aviv Tribune told Tel Aviv Tribune told Tel Aviv Tribune, such as a group supported by the United States, said that it would reopen two aid distribution centers in the war torn by the war.
At least seven people on Thursday, including four journalists were killed in an Israeli drone attack at the Baptiste Hospital of Al Ahli in Gaza City, medical sources said. Palestinian health authorities have confirmed the deaths of four journalists.
The Gaza Government’s media office said deaths increased the total number of journalists killed in the War of Israel against Gaza since October 2023 to 224.
The attack comes as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – a dark organization supported by the United States and Israel – said that it would open two aid distribution centers in the war torn by the war Thursday after a closing of a longer day on Wednesday.
He said that in an article on Facebook, he would reopen two centers in the Rafah region in southern Gaza. He did not say when the aid distribution would resume.
The GHF declared earlier that its sites in Gaza would not open in their usual time due to maintenance and repair work and have greatly urged the seekers to go to its locations to “follow the roads” established by the Israeli army to “ensure a safe passage”.
On Wednesday, the Israeli army warned the Palestinians not to approach GHF aid distribution sites while “reorganization work” was underway, saying that the access roads in these places would be “considered as combat areas”.
The suspension of the distribution of food supplies by the GHF in Gaza comes after Israeli forces opened fire on the Palestinians looking for aid for a fourth time near a GHF distribution site in Rafah, in the south of Gaza, early on Tuesday.
The Israeli attack killed at least 27 people and injured around 90 others, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
The Israeli forces opened fire on thousands of help seekers near the same site in Rafah on Sunday, killing at least 31 people and injuring more than 150, according to the Gaza Civil Defense Agency. One person was also shot down to another aid distribution site, south of the Netzarim corridor in the center of Gaza, the same day.
Then, Monday, three other people were killed and around 30 injured when Israeli forces once again opened fire near the GHF Rafah distribution site.
“Unprecedented” mass incidents
The Israeli army had denied having pointed out that its troops drew on civilian civilians or from the GHF aid distribution site on Sunday, saying that its forces were only pulling strokes on people who did not use “designated access roads”.
The spokesman for the Israeli army, Effie Defrin, then said that soldiers only drew towards people who “approached in a way that endangered” the troops.
The GHF, which began the chaotic aid distribution operations on May 26, also qualified the reports of aid applicants killed in large numbers of “pure and simple manufacturing”, saying that it had not yet seen evidence of an attack or near its facilities.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) confirmed that it had received a “mass influx of 179 cases” after the attack on Sunday, including 21 patients “declared dead when they arrived”. Women and children were one of the victims, the group said, the majority suffering from “ball injury or bus”.
The ICRC has also warned that Gaza Palestinians face an “unprecedented scale and frequency of recent mass incidents”.
Aid reports killed by Israeli forces in recent days have led to international indignation, the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, demanding an independent investigation into deaths and so that “the authors must be held responsible”.
On Wednesday, the United Kingdom called for an “immediate and independent investigation” on fatal incidents. British Minister of the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, said that deaths were “deeply disturbing” and called the new “inhuman” aid measures.
Israel continues to advance its wider assault on Gaza, with at least 48 people killed in attacks across the strip on Wednesday, according to the Civil Defense of Gaza. Among the victims, at least 18 people were killed in a strike on a tent housing the Palestinians displaced in the south of Khan Younis.
The Israeli army confirmed on Thursday that it had recovered the bodies from two Israeli captives which had been taken to Gaza during the attack led by Hamas against southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
The army said in a statement that the remains had been recovered from Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
At least 1,139 people were killed and around 250 others were seized and taken to Gaza during the 2023 attack. Israel estimates that there are still 56 captives held by Gaza, including at least 20 who are alive.
Israel responded to the attack with his war continued against Gaza, killing at least 54,418 Palestinians and injuring 124,190, according to statistics from the Enclave Ministry of Health.
On Wednesday, the United States is once again vetoing a draft United Nations Security Council resolution requiring unhindered access to humanitarian aid through Gaza and an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire.
