Israeli military kills 23 Palestinians near aid site in Gaza, witnesses and medics say
The Israeli military has been accused of killing 23 Palestinians near an aid distribution site in the Gaza Strip, according to witnesses and medics on the scene. The incident took place on Monday, at approximately 1 p.m. local time, near the Al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Witnesses report that Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinians who were queuing for aid supplies, killing 23 people and injuring many others. The Israeli military has stated that it was responding to violent protests along the border and that it targeted known Hamas militants in the area. They have defended their actions as necessary to protect Israeli security.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has condemned the Israeli military’s actions, calling it a massacre of innocent civilians. They have called on the international community to intervene and hold Israel accountable for what they deem as a violation of human rights.
The United Nations has also expressed concern over the incident, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres calling for an independent investigation into the events that unfolded near the aid site. The UN has reiterated the need for all parties to respect the principles of proportionality and distinction in their actions.
The Israeli government has not yet responded to calls for an independent investigation but has reiterated its stance that it will do whatever is necessary to protect its borders and citizens from what it perceives as security threats.
This incident near the aid site in Gaza has once again highlighted the ongoing tensions and violence in the region, with both sides accusing each other of escalating the conflict.
