Gaza’s civil defense agency said Israeli attacks on Sunday killed at least 10 people, including two girls, in the Palestinian territory as the Israel-Hamas war entered its 21st month.“Five martyrs and dozens of wounded were taken to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis after the (Israeli) occupation forces opened fire on civilians at around 6:00 am,” agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.The civilians had been heading to an aid distribution center west of Rafah, near a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group that has come under criticism from the United Nations and humanitarian agencies.The United Nations refuses to work with the GHF, citing concerns over its practices and neutrality.Asked to comment on the latest killings, the Israeli military said it fired on people who “continued advancing in a way that endangered the soldiers” despite warnings.It said the area around the distribution point had been declared an “active combat zone” at night.“Around 4:30 am, people started gathering in the Al-Alam area of Rafah. After about an hour and a half, hundreds moved toward the site and the army opened fire,” eyewitness Abdallah Nour al-Din told AFP.Outside the Nasser hospital, where the emergency workers brought the casualties, AFPTV footage showed mourners crying over blood-stained body-bags.“I can’t see you like this,” said Lin al-Daghma, by her father’s body while a man lay over his brother’s corpse.They gave the same account as Din and spoke of the struggle to access food aid after more than two months of a total Israeli blockade of Gaza, despite a recent easing.Dozens of people have been killed near distribution points since late May, according to the civil defense.Bassal said another five people, including two young girls, were killed around at 1:00 am in a strike that hit a tent in the Al-Mawasi displaced persons camp in southern Gaza.The post Gaza Rescuers Say 10 Killed in Israeli Attacks appeared first on The Defense Post.
