NUSEIRAT: Gaza’s civil defense agency and hospitals said Tuesday that Israeli forces killed at least 41 people across the territory, including 17 near an aid distribution center.
The Israeli military has pressed on with its offensive even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced support for US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war.
Officials from Gaza’s civil defense agency — a rescue force operating under Hamas authority — said 17 people were shot dead by Israeli forces near an aid distribution site near the Wadi Gaza bridge in central Gaza.
Al-Awda hospital confirmed receiving 17 bodies and said 33 people were wounded.
“We received 17 martyrs and 33 injured as a result of Israeli forces targeting gatherings of citizens near the humanitarian aid distribution area near Wadi Gaza Bridge in the central Gaza Strip,” the hospital said in a statement.
