Israeli military investigates ‘reports of harm to civilians’ after hundreds killed near Gaza aid sites
The Israeli military has launched an investigation into reports of civilian casualties following airstrikes near aid distribution sites in Gaza. The incidents occurred on Monday, with reports indicating that hundreds of Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in the attacks.
The airstrikes targeted areas near shelters run by international aid organizations, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The Palestinian Health Ministry reported a significant number of casualties, with many of the injured in critical condition.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that the airstrikes were in response to rocket attacks from Hamas militants in Gaza. They have alleged that Hamas is using civilian infrastructure, such as aid distribution centers, to shield their military activities, putting innocent lives at risk.
In contrast, Palestinian officials and humanitarian organizations have condemned the airstrikes, accusing Israel of disregarding the safety of civilians. They have called for an independent investigation to determine the extent of the harm caused and to hold those responsible for the attacks accountable.
The situation remains tense, with international condemnation mounting against Israel for the reported civilian casualties. The Israeli military has pledged to conduct a thorough investigation into the incidents to determine the facts surrounding the attacks near the aid sites.
The developments have sparked renewed concerns about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, with the international community calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further loss of civilian lives in the region.
