Gaza's Health Ministry reported on Thursday that the death toll of Palestinians killed by the Israeli army as they waited for aid at Al-Rashid street rose to 112, noting that 760 have been wounded in the aggression.

The Ministry initially recorded the toll at 104 this morning. 

"The number of victims of the massacre committed by Israeli occupants at Al Rashid Street has increased to 112, while 760 people have been injured," ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said after the bodies of eight more people were transported to the Shifa hospital.

I swear to God I don't know how people defend Israel at this point.

Israeli armored vehicles and tanks also ran over the bodies of several martyrs, while others fired incendiary shells toward civilians in the area, according to the commander. 

The Israeli military justified the massacre on the basis that the army sensed danger as civilians approached them, prompting the army to open fire, as per an Israeli source to Anadoly Agency.

They further stated that the army claimed a stampede occurred as they were trying to distribute aid. They blamed the crowded group for injuring other Palestinians and causing trucks to strike civilians.

Considering the number of civilians who got killed in the event, the accusations are incorrect.

The genocidal nature of the event is compounded by the fact that the civilians were unarmed and fled as the army fired at them.

"The number of martyrs exceeds 30,000," a Ministry statement announced, adding that the toll includes at least 79 martyrs reported overnight"
