The Israeli fire killed at least five people, and others were wounded while they were heading about two points to distribute the aid in Gaza Palestinian health officials and its witnesses said on Sunday. Israel The army said it fired warning shots at the people who approached its forces.
The past two weeks have witnessed a frequent shooting near the new centers where thousands of Palestinians – who are desperate after 20 months of war – are directed to collect food. Witnesses say that the nearby Israeli forces opened fire, and more than 80 people were killed, according to Gaza Hospital officials.
In all, at least 108 bodies have been brought to hospitals in Gaza over the past 48 hours, according to the Ministry of Health in the region. The Israeli army said it hit dozens of militant targets throughout Gaza during the past day.
Four of the latest bodies were brought to Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis. Palestinian witnesses said that the Israeli forces were fired in a roundabout around one kilometer from a location run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the nearby Rafah.
The Israeli army said it launched warning shots at the “suspects” who advanced towards its forces and ignored the warnings to move away. He said that the shooting occurred in an area considered an active fighting area at night.
Al -Oda Hospital said that he had obtained the body of a 42 -year -old man and 29 people who were injured near another GHF aid distribution point in central Gaza. The army said that it fired warning shots in the area at about 6:40 am, but he did not see any victims.
A GHF official said there was no violence in or around the distribution sites, all of which were provided on Sunday. The group temporarily closed them last week to discuss safety measures with the Israeli army and warned people not to stay on specific access methods. The official spoke on the condition that his identity is not disclosed in line with the regulations.
New assistance centers are established within the Israeli military areas, where independent media are not access to.
Witnesses are afraid of their safety
Witnesses said that the shooting in southern Gaza occurred at about 6 am, when they were told that the site would open. Many went to it early, looking for the food that is needed before the crowds arrive.

Adham Dahman, who was in Nasser Hospital with a bandage on his chin, said that there was a tank that was launched towards them. He said: “We did not know how he escaped.” “This is a trap for us, not help.”
Zahid bin Hassan said that someone next to him had shot his head. He said that and others pulled the body from the scene.
“They said it is a safe area from 6 am until 6 pm … So why did they start shooting at us?” He said. “There was light, and they have their cameras and they can see us clearly.”

The army announced on Friday that the sites will be open during those hours, and that the area will be a closed military area in the rest of the time.
The children cried on the body of their father in the hospital. “I can’t see you like this!” One girl said.
Aid was distributed within the Israeli military areas
Almost almost millions of Palestinians depend on almost international aid because almost all food production capabilities have been destroyed.
GHF, a new group of American contractors, is a new group of American contractors. Israel wants to replace a system of its suitability by the United Nations and international relief groups.
Israel and the United States accuse the Hamas Armed Group of theft of aid. The United Nations denies a systematic transfer. The United Nations says that the new system is unable to meet the installation needs, and it allows Israel to use aid as a weapon by identifying who can receive it and force people to move to the place of relief sites.
The United Nations regime has struggled to provide assistance, even after Israel reduced its full blockade in Gaza last month. UN officials say their efforts are impeded by Israeli military restrictions, the collapse of law, order and looting on a large scale.
Experts warned earlier this year that Gaza was in a decisive danger to famine if Israel did not lift the siege and stop its military campaign. Both were renewed in March. Israeli officials said the attack will continue until all the hostages would be returned and that Hamas was defeated or disarmed and sent to exile.
Hamas said it would only launch the hostile hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Talks by the United States, Egypt and Qatar were blocked for several months.
Hamas began the war by attacking southern Israel on October 7, 2023, when Palestinian militants killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took 251 other hostages. They still carry 55 hostages, less than half of them alive, after most of the rest has been issued in the ceasefire agreements or other deals.
Israel has regained dozens of bodies, including three in recent days, and rescued eight live hostages during the war.
Israel’s military campaign has killed more than 54,800 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. She says women and children are offering most of the dead, but they do not say the number of civilians or fighters who were killed. Israel says it has killed more than 20,000 fighters, without providing evidence.
The war destroyed vast areas of Gaza and explained about 90 percent of its population.
