It seems that the desperate starvation technique is working for Israel. The Palestinians are fighting amongst themselves to survive and if they can get food the IDF ensures it costs their lives – Mark
Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinian civilians in a chaotic series of events involving trucks delivering aid to the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military and Gaza health officials said, threatening to up-end delicate negotiations to reach a ceasefire soon.
The Israeli military and Palestinian witnesses and officials gave conflicting versions of an event that Gaza health officials said killed more than 100 Palestinians and left more than 700 injured. Hamas officials paused ceasefire talks due to Thursday’s incident, Egyptian officials said.
Israeli officials said thousands of Palestinians surrounded about 30 trucks carrying aid into northern Gaza along the main seaside road at about 4am. Thursday. Dozens were fatally trampled or injured in the crush, with some being run over by trucks, Israeli officials said.
A short while later a few hundred yards away along the same road, troops near the aid trucks opened fire on civilians who approached a military crossing which included a tank and infantry soldiers, and didn’t move back after warning shots, Israeli officials said. An Israeli military spokesman said it was possible the shooting caused deaths and injuries. The incident is under review, the military said.
Several witnesses said Israeli soldiers and tanks fired at people gathered to wait for aid deliveries near the Nabulsi roundabout in northern Gaza, with some saying the shooting started before they saw the trucks arrive.
President Joe Biden said the tragedy would complicate ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, as his defence secretary Lloyd Austin told congress over 25,000 women and children had been killed in the besieged enclave.
