Four Palestinians were martyred and several others were injured in an Israeli shelling that targeted an inhabited house in the al-Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza Strip early Friday.

Simultaneously, the Israeli occupation forces carried out an airstrike east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, while both western and eastern parts of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip witnessed intense Israeli artillery shelling.

This came shortly after the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the death toll of the massacre that the Israeli occupation forces committed against Palestinians waiting in line for aid at al-Rashid Street west of Gaza City rose to 112, in addition to 760 injuries.

Earlier on Thursday, a field source from the Palestinian Resistance told Al Mayadeen that Israeli armored vehicles and tanks ran over the bodies of several martyrs, while others fired incendiary shells toward civilians in the area.

The occupation forces also arbitrarily detained hundreds of civilians in the same area, transferring them to an unknown location, the source mentioned.

The Israeli occupation military claimed that a "stampede" occurred when thousands of Gazans surrounded a convoy of 38 aid trucks. An Israeli source said troops had opened fire on the crowd, believing it "posed a threat."

In continuation of its diplomatic cover for its biggest ally "Israel", the United States blocked on Thursday a UN Security Council statement that would have condemned the massacre.

US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood said that "the parties are working on some language to see if we can get to a statement."

"The problem is that we don't have all the facts here," he claimed, adding that he wanted the wording to reflect "the necessary due diligence with regards to culpability."
