Israeli Continues Deadly Attacks on Palestinians Seeking Food at Aid Sites
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officials in Gaza say Israeli forces have killed another 90 Palestinians
over the past 24 hours, including dozens waiting near new food
distribution centers. Israeli forces have killed over 550 people trying
to access food aid over the past four weeks. Palestinians have described
the aid sites as death traps.

Muhammad Abu Nada: "We trusted the occupation soldiers after they told
us to take the package. I walked past the tank and picked up the
package, and suddenly they started shooting directly at us. The young
men were ambushed and fell to the ground. Some were shot in the head,
some in the feet."

In other news from Gaza, seven Israeli troops were killed Wednesday when
an explosive device was planted on their armored vehicle. It was the
deadliest attack on Israeli forces in Gaza in months.

Meanwhile Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
is calling on Israel to halt all humanitarian aid into Gaza despite
warnings from the U.N. that the entire population of Gaza is at risk of
famine.
