Israeli Soldiers Ordered to Shoot at Unarmed Aid Seekers in Gaza
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUN 28 – Israeli leaders halted aid to northern Gaza amid allegations Hamas diverts supplies; over 500 Palestinians have died near aid sites since late May, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
- A report published this week in a left-leaning Israeli newspaper alleged IDF soldiers were ordered to shoot unarmed Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza.
- This claim followed at least 19 shooting incidents since May 27 and testimonies from soldiers describing daily open fire on civilians posing no threat.
- The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed food at four southern Gaza sites for about a month amid heavy Israeli fire and aid stoppages in northern Gaza.
- A soldier referred to the location as a "killing field," reporting that daily casualties ranged from one to five individuals, while UN Secretary-General Guterres emphasized that seeking food should not come with the risk of losing one’s life.
- Israel confirmed investigations into incidents but denied orders to deliberately shoot civilians, while Gaza and aid groups called for transparent inquiry amid rising deaths around aid sites.
