Over 550 Palestinians Killed Near Gaza Aid Sites Amid Israeli Fire

Recent reports reveal that Israeli forces have been deliberately firing on Palestinians gathering near humanitarian aid distribution centers in Gaza, resulting in a high number of casualties. Investigations and testimonies from Israeli soldiers confirm that commanders ordered troops to open fire on civilians, many of whom were unarmed and waiting for food at centers operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a group supported by Israeli coordination and U.S. evangelical leaders. Since late May, at least 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 wounded near these aid sites, with soldiers describing their posts as "killing fields" where live ammunition and heavy weaponry are routinely used to disperse crowds. The GHF centers, located in southern and central Gaza, were established with the involvement of U.S. evangelical figures, including Johnnie Moore, who has close ties to President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Despite the humanitarian nature of the sites, Israeli forces maintain a hostile stance, opening fire often before dawn or after hours, even in the absence of any armed threat. These actions have drawn condemnation and highlight the severe risks faced by Palestinians seeking aid amid ongoing conflict.
