Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 22 people were killed in the Israeli attacks as U.S.-backed groups distributed aid on Palestinian territory said all of their centers were closed until further notice.
Local health authorities say at least 10 people were killed in Israeli tank fires in Jabbaria in northern Gaza. At least five people were killed in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, when Israeli drones attacked the tents of the house.
The Gaza government media office said on Friday that a journalist was injured during an Israeli strike at an Israeli hospital on Thursday, succumbing to their injuries, which led to the number of journalists killed in Gaza since the beginning of the war, which increased to 226.
The office called on “all news organizations in all countries in the world to condemn these systemic crimes against Palestinian journalists and Gaza Strip media professionals”.
It added: "We also call on them to put serious and effective pressure to stop genocide, protect journalists and media professionals in the Gaza Strip and stop their killings."
The attack was because the group responsible for distributing aid in Gaza said its hub would remain closed until further notice despite the growing hunger crisis in the territory.
Aid agencies warn that all residents in Gaza face the threat of famine after a severe lockdown on the territory in March, preventing the entry of food, medicine and fuel. Israel allowed some aid to enter Gaza last month under international pressure, but aid groups warned that the amount was insufficient.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a previously unknown group that oversees aid allocation efforts and recommends people stay away from aid allocation centers “for safety and safety.”
GHF, which began distributing aid last week, said in a Facebook post on Friday that details about the reopening will be announced later.
Operations of the group’s aid allocation center stopped earlier this week after several deadly violence occurred near those locations, with Israeli forces opening fire on seekers seeking Palestinians. Only two locations distributed aid Thursday.
On Sunday, thousands of people headed to the distribution site hours before dawn. As they approached, Israeli troops ordered them to disperse and come back later. Witnesses said that when the crowd reached the roundabout of the flag, Israeli troops opened fire for 1 km (0.6 miles).
“From all directions, there are fires in naval warships, tanks and drones,” said Amr Abu Teiba in the crowd.
Goher Rahbour, a surgeon working in Khan Younis in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that the bullets extracted from victims of the shooting near the aid distribution center on Sunday were from M16 assault guns, consistent with guns used by the Israeli military.
"I did the operation on two patients and we removed the M16 bullet from the abdominal injury," Rahbour told Al Jazeera. "When I talked to these patients, they clearly said they were from the Israeli forces."
The surgeon also said that hospitals have little or no resources to operate. "There is everything - antibiotics, swabs, surgical instruments," he said.
Humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations, have received strong criticism of the GHF's approach.
GHF said the private security contractor guarding its website has not been fired from the crowd.
Israel's army admitted to warnings on the front occasion.
The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Thursday that the Israeli war against Gaza killed at least 54,677 Palestinians and injured 125,530 people.
An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, with more than 200 being captured.
Mediators Qatar and Egypt announced efforts to secure a ceasefire agreement based on a proposal for a 60-day armistice and humanitarian aid based on a U.S.-backed 60-day armistice and humanitarian aid.
However, previous ceasefire efforts repeatedly violated Israel’s rejection of key clauses.
In past negotiations, Israel has backed its promise to permanently stop the war and completely evacuated its troops from Gaza.
