Gaza’s Hamas-linked civil defense agency says 10 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while waiting near a distribution point around the southern city of Rafah.
Israel’s military does not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday’s deaths, but it has previously accused terror operatives of firing at civilians in the vicinity of aid centers. It has also acknowledged firing warning shots at Gazans who used unauthorized routes to reach aid centers, while opening investigations into alleged war crimes after the shootings reportedly led to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians.
In Gaza’s south, a witness says Israeli tanks were seen near Khan Yunis, reporting “intense gunfire, intermittent air strikes, artillery shelling, and ongoing bulldozing and destruction of displacement camps and agricultural land.”
Israel’s military confirms troops are operating in the area against “terrorist infrastructure sites, both above and below ground.”
