DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli airstrikes and gunshots killed at least 25 people overnight into Saturday, according to Palestinian health officials and the local ambulance service, as ceasefire talks appear to have stalled and Gaza faces famine.

Gunfire killed the majority of people as they waited for aid trucks close to the Zikim crossing with Israel, said staff at Shifa hospital, where the bodies were taken.

Israel’s army didn’t respond to a request for comments about the shootings.

Those killed in strikes included four people in an apartment building in Gaza City, hospital staff and the ambulance service said.

Israel has gone rogue with the blessings and financing of president shitstain and the US government. Every single fucking day scores of innocents die as they try to scrape together enough food to survive.
Gaza will one day become a playground for the filthy rich, once the citizens have been murdered and/or forcefully moved out.
It’s all working out according to plan and nothing could be more self evident.
