Israeli troops opened fire on Saturday toward crowds of Palestinians seeking food from distribution hubs run by a US and Israeli-backed group in southern Gaza in Rafah, killing at least 36 people, according to witnesses and hospital officials. The two incidents occurred near hubs operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Troops fired warning shots before opening fire at the marching people. Mahmoud Mokeimar, an eyewitness, said, “It was a massacre. The occupation opened fire at us indiscriminately.”
