03 Jun 2025 14:12 PM At least 27 Palestinians killed while waiting for aid distribution
Local health authorities in Gaza said on Tuesday that at least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for aid distribution near Rafah. The Israeli military said on Tuesday it fired shots at individuals about half a kilometre from the aid distribution site of US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the Gaza Strip. The individuals were moving towards forces in a way that "posed a threat to them", the military said. It said its forces do not prevent Gaza residents from reaching aid despite multiple reports of deadly attacks by Israeli forces near the US centre in recent days. The United Nations human rights office said on Tuesday the impediment of access to food and relief for civilians in Gaza may constitute a war crime. "Attacks directed against civilians constitute a grave breach of international law, and a war crime," The head of the UN agency, Volker Turk, said in a statement. The UN has called for an independent investigation into killings of Palestinians near the US-backed aid centre in south Gaza. In northern Gaza, three Israeli soldiers were killed the Israeli military said Tuesday, in what appears to be the deadliest attack on Israel's forces since it ended a ceasefire with Hamas in March. The military said the three soldiers, all in their early 20s, fell during combat in northern Gaza on Monday, without providing details. Israeli media reported that they were killed in an explosion in the Jabaliya area. The soldiers' deaths were announced hours after Hamas' armed wing said on Monday its fighters were engaging in "fierce clashes" with Israeli forces in the north of the territory. Israel ended the ceasefire in March after Hamas refused to change the agreement to release more hostages sooner. Israeli strikes have killed thousands of Palestinians since then, according to Gaza's health ministry. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 people hostage in the October 7, 2023, attack into Israel that ignited the war. They are still holding 58 hostages, a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's military campaign has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza health ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants. Israel says it has killed around 20,000 militants, without providing evidence. Around 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the October 7 attack, including more than 400 during the fighting inside Gaza.
