The Israeli army's brutality continues in the besieged Gaza Strip, Palestine. Cafes, schools and relief distribution centers located there are not spared. 95 more Palestinians have been killed in recent Israeli airstrikes. Many more have been injured.
The attacks took place on Monday local time in Gaza City and various areas in the north. Of these, 39 people were killed in a seaside cafe called Al-Baqa alone, Al Jazeera reported.
The report said that without any prior warning, bombs were dropped from warplanes. Many people, including women and children, had gathered in the cafe to celebrate a birthday. Among the dead was a journalist. His name is Ismail Abu Hattab.
Meanwhile, hundreds of displaced people who had taken shelter in the Yafa School in Gaza City were also attacked. One person, Abu Jarade, said they received a notice to evacuate just five minutes before the attack. "We don't know where to go. We haven't received any help for more than 630 days. We are facing death every day," he said.
In addition, many more were injured in another attack on the premises of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the Deir al-Balah area of central Gaza. Thousands of families had taken refuge there. Chaos spread around the area during the attack. Many people tried to run for safety. The hospital has been attacked at least 10 times before.
Al Jazeera reports that Israel has also targeted people waiting for aid. At least 15 people were killed and 50 injured in an attack on people waiting for food at the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution center in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
The majority of the victims of the Israeli attacks were ordinary Palestinians waiting in line for aid. Since the GHF began distributing aid to Gaza on a limited scale in late May, these centers have been experiencing almost daily casualties. So far, at least 600 Palestinians have been killed and more than 4,000 injured in these attacks.
Meanwhile, a report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz claims that Israeli soldiers have been ordered to shoot directly at unarmed aid seekers. Several soldiers, who did not wish to be named, said that at times, even when there was no threat, they were ordered to use excessive force and violence against aid seekers.
