Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that at least 75 Palestinians were killed in the past few hours as a result of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike east of Gaza City, while several civilians were injured by Israeli artillery shelling while waiting for aid in the al-Tawam area, north of the Gaza Strip. Additionally, three civilians waiting for aid were killed near the Netzarim junction in the central Gaza Strip.
An Israeli airstrike targeted the Hamad Residential City, located north of Khan Younis, causing significant destruction. Meanwhile, the occupation forces surrounded civilians waiting for humanitarian aid, opening fire and intensifying their suffering. In the southern Gaza Strip, dozens of Palestinians were injured by Israeli army gunfire, while dozens of aid workers were surrounded by gunfire in southwest Khan Yunis.
Additionally, two Palestinians were killed and others injured when the occupation forces targeted those waiting for humanitarian aid in the al-Shakoush area of ​​Rafah. Meanwhile, near the Sudanese area northwest of Gaza, the Israeli occupation army committed a massacre, killing 12 civilians and wounding approximately 50 others. The occupation forces continued their intensive airstrikes on various areas in the Gaza Strip, targeting civilians, aid workers, hospitals, and infrastructure.
The Israeli occupation continues to target Palestinians heading toward aid sites amid the ongoing siege on the Strip.
Israeli strike on northern Gaza 'aid' site
On Saturday, Israeli forces launched another deadly assault in northern Gaza, targeting Palestinians gathered near the Sudaniyya area as they waited for humanitarian aid. According to local health officials, 12 civilians were killed and around 50 wounded in the strike, another grim addition to the growing list of massacres occurring at or near food distribution sites across the besieged Strip.
The attack comes as part of an escalating Israeli military campaign that has left at least 90 Palestinians martyred and over 600 injured in the past 48 hours alone, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA. Areas hit hardest include eastern Gaza City and Khan Younis, where Israeli bombardments since dawn have claimed 40 lives, medical staff at Nasser Medical Complex reported. A separate drone strike by an Israeli quadcopter killed four civilians in al-Shuja'iyya.
These latest atrocities follow a wider pattern of violence surrounding foreign-managed aid efforts. The US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) recently suspended its operations after admitting its failure to distribute food aid. While GHF blamed "direct threats" from Hamas without offering evidence, local authorities and human rights groups say the real cause lies in GHF's mismanagement and coordination with Israeli forces. Its aid sites, often located near military posts, have repeatedly become the scene of massacres. Gaza's Health Ministry reports that GHF-linked incidents have resulted in 110 deaths and more than 1,000 injuries.
