Israeli strikes in Gaza on Monday killed aid-seekers and others, with at least 34 deaths reported, excluding journalists. Among the dead were aid recipients shot near distribution points. The military did not immediately respond. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the primary aid distributor, said it was unaware of incidents. Over 1,700 have died seeking food since May.
These events followed Prime Minister Netanyahu's remarks and plans for a deeper incursion. Five more Palestinians died from malnutrition. Despite increased supplies, experts warn of famine. Australia moved toward recognition, calling for a two-state solution.
Separately, an Israeli airstrike killed an Al Jazeera correspondent and others. Al Jazeera called it a "targeted assassination." Israel repeated claims that the journalist led a Hamas cell.
The war began with a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Israel's offensive has displaced most of the population and caused widespread destruction. Over 61,400 Palestinians have died, with over 220, including children, dying from malnutrition. The Health Ministry, considered the most reliable source, provides these figures, which Israel disputes.

The killings of journalists is unacceptable. Independent reporting is critical.

They shouldn't expect any assistance in a war they started.

This is a horrific tragedy. The targeting of aid seekers is a war crime.

This is absolutely appalling. Israel is systematically decimating the people.

The 'aid recipients' were probably Hamas operatives trying to get close, which explains the 'reports' of civilians killed.
