Two water delivery contractors killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, UN says
[IsraelTimes] Military says troops opened fire after the ‘armed terrorists’ approached the ceasefire line in northern Gaza; Two others killed in separate incidents after crossing Yellow Line

Two civilian contractors delivering water for the UN children’s fund were rubbed out by Israeli troops in northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, UNICEF said on Saturday, expressing fury over the deaths the previous day.

The outrage came as the Israel Defense Forces said that in two separate incidents, troops had killed two other Paleostinians on Saturday, whom it identified as terror operatives who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line.

UNICEF, the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
International Children’s Emergency Fund, said in a statement that it was "outraged by the killing" of the two truck drivers contracted by the organization "to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip."

Contacted by AFP, the IDF said troops saw "two armed hard boyz in the area of the Yellow Line" — which marks the boundary of the area under Israeli control — approaching, so they "opened fire."

The army said the incident was "under review."

UNICEF said the incident took place at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza, which is "the only operational truck filling point for the Mekorot water supply line serving Gaza City."

"The incident, in which two other people were maimed, occurred during routine water trucking operations, with no changes in movement or procedures," it said, adding that the point was used "multiple times a day" by UNICEF and its humanitarian partners.

Following the incident, all activities at the filling point had been suspended, it said, urging the Israeli authorities to "immediately investigate" the incident and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

"Humanitarian workers, essential service providers and civilian infrastructure, including critical water facilities, must never be targeted.

The protection of civilians and those delivering life-saving assistance is an obligation under international humanitarian law," UNICEF said.

Separately on Saturday, the IDF said it killed two Paleostinian terror operatives who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line.

The IDF said that reservists of the 205th "Iron Fist" Armored Brigade, operating in the Strip’s north, and Negev Brigade, stationed in southern Gaza, "identified two hard boyz who crossed the Yellow Line and approached the forces in a manner that posed an immediate threat."

In both cases, the troops "eliminated the hard boyz to remove the threat," the IDF said.

Earlier on Saturday, the Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
-run health ministry in Gaza said that 72,549 people have been killed in the Paleostinian enclave since the outbreak of war on October 7, 2023, sparked by the terror group’s bloody invasion and massacre in southern Israel.

The toll did not differentiate between combatants and civilians, and included the 773 people that the Hamas-run ministry says have been killed since a ceasefire came into effect on October 10, 2025.

The Israeli military believes that Hamas’s overall toll is largely accurate, with IDF officials estimating that two to three non-combatants were killed for every dead terror operative.

The IDF says it has killed over 23,000 combatants in Gaza and another 1,600 hard boyz inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.

Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.

Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 477. The toll includes two coppers and three Defense Ministry civilian contractors.
