Gaza hospital says 24 people killed near aid site as witnesses blame IDF
A Gaza hospital reported that 24 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike near an aid distribution site in the Gaza Strip. The incident took place on Tuesday morning, in the town of Beit Hanoun, during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Witnesses at the scene have blamed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for the attack, stating that it targeted a group of civilians who were lining up for humanitarian aid.
The IDF has not yet released an official statement regarding the specific airstrike in question. However, the Israeli military has stated that it is conducting precision strikes to target Hamas militants and their infrastructure in Gaza. They have accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields and operating within civilian areas.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has condemned the attack, labeling it as a massacre and a war crime. They have called for international intervention to protect the Palestinian people in Gaza. On the other hand, Israeli officials have emphasized their right to defend their citizens from rocket attacks launched by Hamas from Gaza.
The situation remains tense, with both sides exchanging fire and casualties mounting. The international community has urged for a de-escalation of the conflict and a return to dialogue to achieve a lasting ceasefire in the region.
