13 reportedly killed in strikes IDF said targeted Hamas fighters trying to divert aid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 13 Palestinians were killed in a pair of airstrikes that the Israel Defense Forces conducted earlier today targeting humanitarian aid convoys.
The Israeli military said in a statement the two airstrikes aimed to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and accused Hamas members of planning to prevent the aid from reaching Gaza civilians who need it.
The statement said the Hamas members aimed to hijack the aid “in support of continuing terrorist activity.”
Twenty-three more Palestinians were killed in other Israeli military operations throughout Gaza over the past day, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
