Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that 38 Palestinians were killed on Monday in shootings near food distribution centers in the southern part of the territory — marking the highest daily death toll so far in a series of frequent shootings.
These incidents have been occurring almost daily as large numbers of Palestinians pass through areas under Israeli military control to access food aid. According to eyewitnesses, Israeli forces fire at the crowds in an effort to manage or disperse them.
There was no immediate statement by the Israeli military on Monday’s deaths. It has said in previous instances that troops fired warning shots at what it calls suspects approaching their positions, reports UNB.
