Seven Aid Seekers Among 21 Palestinians Killed in Gaza since Dawn
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – At least 21 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Friday.
Seven of the victims were shot dead by Israeli forces while waiting for aid in central and southern Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, four more hunger-related deaths were confirmed in the past 24 hours, raising the total number of Palestinians who have starved to death during Israel’s war on Gaza to 239, including 106 children, the enclave’s Health Ministry said.
Israeli forces have arrested at least 20 Palestinians in raids across the West Bank, where several Palestinians were also injured during attacks by armed Israeli settlers.
Local sources said that Israeli settlers attacked the Abu Falah village northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank and cut down olive trees on Palestinian land.
Another incursion was reported in the Duma town, located south of Nablus, where settlers uprooted olive and grape trees and threatened Palestinians not to enter their lands.
The latest attacks come hours after settlers injured several Palestinians and burned vehicles after storming two villages in the occupied territory.
The Zionist regime’s war on Gaza has killed at least 61,776 people and wounded 154,906 since October 2023.
