Israeli military forces unleashed a brutal attack on Palestinian civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of at least 19 people and injuring 23 others. The assault occurred near the al-Kuwait roundabout, southeast of Gaza City, as desperate individuals lined up for essential supplies. The Government Media Office in Gaza condemned the attack, emphasizing that the victims posed no threat to the occupation forces.
Mahmud Basal, spokesman for the Civil Defense Department in Gaza, described the scene as tragic and challenging, with civilians being targeted indiscriminately. Witnesses reported Israeli troops firing on the aid queue, causing numerous casualties among those seeking assistance for their families. Despite denials from the Israeli army, the incident adds to a series of deadly attacks on aid seekers in the besieged Gaza Strip. This latest atrocity underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis exacerbated by Israel's aggressive actions against the Palestinian population.
