While eyes turn to Iran, Israel commits massacre in Gaza killing 92 aid seekers in a day

As global attention focuses on the escalating Iran-Israel confrontation, Israeli occupation forces have carried out one of the deadliest assaults in Gaza in weeks, killing 92 Palestinians in a single day, most of them aid seekers and displaced civilians. 

Gaza health authorities report that 64 were killed in Gaza City and northern Gaza alone, with dozens more wounded or missing. The toll includes children, women, and the elderly.

Disturbing footage has emerged from Al-Shatee camp showing an aid seeker burning alive, and another child lying in a pool of blood. In Nuseirat, Israeli fire on crowds gathered for food aid killed dozens and injured at least 60, according to Gaza’s civil defense.

This marks the third aid massacre this week and adds to over 100 Palestinians killed while attempting to access food since Monday.

Al Jazeera’s reporter, Anas Al-Shareef, confirmed that more than 55 civilians, including families and the elderly, were killed just this morning by Israeli fire on tent camps and gathering points in Gaza City.

He also documented a massacre near Al-Omari Mosque in Jabalia al-Balad, where 11 civilians were killed and dozens wounded. Jabalia has faced relentless shelling for days, with civilian homes systematically bombed.

Despite this, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to present Israel as the victim following Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes, claiming Iranian targeting of the Soroka military hospital was a war crime, while ignoring Israel’s own documented attacks on dozens of hospitals in Gaza and even strikes on Farabi Hospital and the Iranian Red Crescent.
