GHF suspends Gaza aid sites after shootings, Israeli shelling kills 10 in Jabalia
Ten Palestinians were killed by Israeli tank fire in Gaza on Friday, local health authorities said, as a US group handing out aid in the enclave said all its distribution sites were closed until further notice. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the report of the 10 deaths in Jabalia in the north of the war-shattered Gaza Strip. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) meanwhile urged residents to stay away from aid distribution venues "for their safety" after a series of deadly shootings. GHF, which last week started handing out meals to hungry Palestinians inside Gaza, said that a reopening date would be announced later. The GHF opened two sites in southern Gaza on Thursday after closing all of its centres the previous day in the wake of shootings in the vicinity of its operations. It has so far operated four distribution centres. The organisation bypasses traditional relief agencies and has been criticised by humanitarian organisations, including the United Nations, for alleged lack of neutrality, which it denies. GHF halted distributions on Wednesday and said it was pressing Israeli forces to improve civilian safety beyond the perimeter of its operations after dozens of Palestinians were shot dead near the Rafah site over three consecutive days. The Israeli military said on Sunday and Monday that its soldiers had fired warning shots. On Tuesday, it said, forces also fired warning shots before firing towards Palestinians that it said were advancing towards troops. GHF has said that aid was safely handed out from its sites without any incident. Israel has re-intensified an offensive against Gaza's dominant Hamas group since breaking a two-month-old ceasefire in March in a war triggered by Hamas' cross-border attack on October 7, 2023.

10 more Palestinians killed in Israel strikes
Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli strikes killed at least 10 people in the battered Palestinian territory on Thursday as the military keeps up an intensified offensive. According to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, at least 4,335 people have been killed since Israel resumed its offensive on March 18, taking the war's overall toll to 54,607, mostly civilians. "Ten martyrs so far resulting from Israeli strikes since dawn," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told the media, adding that they had targeted an area where displaced civilians were sheltering in the southern city of Khan Yunis and houses in Gaza City and the central town of Deir Al Balah. Palestinians mourn over the bodies at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Wednesday. AP The Israeli military did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment. Israel has stepped up its offensive in what it says is a bid to defeat Hamas, whose October 7, 2023 attack sparked the war. Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Agence France-Presse
