Palestinian and Arab media outlets report that five people were killed and dozens more injured by Israeli army fire near an aid distribution site operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip.

No footage from the scene has been published so far. There is no comment from the Israel Defense Forces.

According to health authorities in the Hamas-run Strip, nearly 500 people have been killed by suspected Israeli forces near GHF aid distribution sites, which are set up in areas controlled by the IDF and far from population centers. GHF has denied responsibility for the deaths, noting that it is operating in a war zone.
