reports that Colonel Omar Saeed Aql, director of Nuseirat police in the central governorate, was killed along with 11 of his family members when the Israeli army bombed their home, Al Jazeera reported.

The new "massacre" took place in the town of az-Zawayda in the central part of the besieged enclave, the ministry said, condemning it as a "heinous crime" in a statement.

"We renew our call to the international community and the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
to take a firm stance to stop the repeated Israeli violations against police personnel who perform civil duties and are protected from targeting under international law."

Strip received the bodies of at least 98 civilians, as well as 511 people suffering from different injuries following Israeli attacks, according to Gaza's health ministry on Saturday morning.

Accordingly, a total of 7,938 people have been killed and 28,444 others have been injured since the Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, 2025.

The new fatalities increased the corpse count from the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, which started on October 7, 2023, to 58,765 deaders, including 891 aid seekers who were killed at or near US-backed distribution points, the health ministry said.

The ministry added that the total number of the maimed also surged to 140,485 people, including 5,754 aid seekers.

Meanwhile,

Palestinians say at least 26 killed near Gaza aid sites; IDF says troops fired warning shots
[IsraelTimes] Military says crowd approached troops in a way that ‘threatened’ them a kilometer away from food-distribution site, is investigating reports of mass casualties in latest deadly incident

aid sites early Saturday, Paleostinian officials said, accusing the Israeli military of opening fire on people trying to secure food. The IDF said that troops had fired warning shots and that it was investigating reports of casualties.

The Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
-run civil defense agency said 26 people were killed. The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, quoting witnesses and hospital officials, put the corpse count at at least 32. Neither toll could immediately be verified.

The two incidents occurred near food-distribution hubs operated by the Israel-and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Agency front man Mahmud Basal, who Israel has accused of being a Hamas operative, told AFP that 22 people were killed near a site southwest of Khan Yunis and four near another center northwest of Rafah, blaming "Israeli gunfire" for both.

The Israel Defense Forces said it was aware of reports of casualties after troops fired warning shots and that overnight, Paleostinians had approached Israeli forces in the Rafah area, "in a way that threatened the forces."

"Troops operated to prevent the suspects from approaching them, called for them to distance themselves, and after they did not comply, the troops fired warning shots," the IDF said.

According to the army, the incident took place a kilometer away from the closest aid site and during the night, when it was not open for Paleostinians to collect aid packages.

The IDF said the incident is under further review.

The military also said Saturday that the Israeli Air Force had struck approximately 90 terror targets in Gaza over the past day, including buildings used by terror operatives and tunnels.

The strikes come as five IDF divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, continue ground operations across the Strip.

The Hamas-run health ministry said two Paleostinians were killed in an Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in Gaza City.

’INDISCRIMINATE FIRE’
Most of Saturday’s deaths occurred as Paleostinians massed in the Teina area, around three kilometers (2 miles) away from a GHF aid distribution center east of the city of Khan Younis.

Mahmoud Mokeimar, an eyewitness, said he was walking with masses of people — mostly young men — toward the food hub. Troops fired warning shots as the crowds advanced, before opening fire toward the marching people.

"It was a massacre ... the occupation shot up us indiscriminately," he said. He said he managed to flee but saw at least three motionless bodies lying on the ground, and many other maimed fleeing.

Akram Aker, another witness, said troops fired machine guns mounted on tanks and drones. He said the shooting happened between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m.

"They encircled us and started firing directly at us," he said. He said he saw many casualties lying on the ground.

Sanaa al-Jaberi, a 55-year-old woman, said she saw many dead and maimed as she fled the area.

"We shouted: ’food, food,’ but they didn’t talk to us. They just opened fire," she said.

The Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received 25 bodies, along with dozens maimed.

Seven other people, including one woman, were killed in the Shakoush area, hundreds of meters (yards) north of another GHF hub in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, the hospital said. The corpse count was also reported by the Hamas-controlled health ministry.

Dr. Mohammed Saker, the head of Nasser’s nursing department, said it received 70 maimed people. He told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that most of the casualties were shot in their heads and chests, and that some were placed in the already overwhelmed intensive care unit.

"The situation is difficult and tragic," he said, adding that the facility lacks badly needed medical supplies to treat the daily flow of casualties.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?

Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.

If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

Fares Awad, head of the Health Ministry’s ambulance and emergency service in northern Gaza, confirmed the two deaths in Gaza City. He said an airstrike hit a tent in a camp sheltering displaced families in the courtyard of the Development Ministry. There were no further details on the target of the strike.

MOUNTING TOLL NEAR AID SITES
The reported casualties are the latest in a series of incidents over recent months, during which hundreds of people have been reported killed in repeated incidents of shooting near aid centers run by the GFH.

The GHF, which employs private armed guards, says there have been no deadly shootings at its sites, though this week, 20 people were killed at one of its locations, most of them in a stampede. The group accused Hamas agitators of causing a panic, but it was not possible to verify GHF’s claims regarding the affiliation of the agitators or what sparked the crush.

In videos obtained by the AP earlier this month from an American contractor working with GHF, contractors were seen using tear gas and stun grenades to keep crowds behind metal fences or to force them to disperse. Gunshots could also be heard.

GHF began operations in late May as Israel lifted a nearly three-month aid blockade on Gaza, amid a renewed offensive there that seeks to take over 75 percent of the Strip with the aim of defeating Hamas and securing the release of the hostages seized by the terror group during its October 7, 2023, attack.

The GHF has faced harsh criticism from the UN and other aid organizations, which called the aid group’s model "inherently unsafe" and charged that it fails to meet the needs of Gaza’s population.

While the GHF claims to have distributed millions of meals to hungry Paleostinians, local health officials and witnesses report that hundreds of people have been killed by army fire as they try to reach the distribution hubs.

The IDF, which is not at the sites but secures them from a distance, has said it only fires warning shots if crowds get too close to its forces.

Israel, which accuses Hamas of hoarding aid, has accused the terror group of attacking Gazook aid seekers near GHF sites and falsifying corpse counts. However,
we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by...
Israel has also acknowledged that "several" Paleostinian civilians have been killed near GHF aid distribution sites.

Two reservists seriously wounded by roadside bomb in Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Two reserve combat engineers were seriously wounded by a roadside bomb in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, the military announces.

The troops include a reserve officer in the 710th Combat Engineering Battalion and a reservist in the 749th Combat Engineering Battalion.

They were taken to a hospital for treatment, and their families were notified, the army says.

According to an IDF probe, the soldiers were hit by an explosive device while driving in a Humvee

IDF set to begin ground operations in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza for first time
[IsraelTimes] The IDF issues a new evacuation warning for Palestinians residing in the southwest of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, as it is set to begin ground operations in the city for the first time since the start of the war.

“The IDF continues to operate with great force to destroy the enemy’s capabilities and terror infrastructure in the area, as it expands its activities into an area where it has not operated before,” says the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, on X.

Civilians are instructed to head south to the Mawasi area on the coast.

It marks the first time since the beginning of the war that the IDF has issued an evacuation warning for the Deir al-Balah area, one of the few locations in the Strip where the military has not operated with ground troops.

The IDF has avoided ground operations in areas where it believes Hamas to be holding hostages, in order to not endanger them as the terror group has vowed to execute captives if troops near.

An estimated 350,000 Palestinians are residing in all of central Gaza, according to IDF estimates from May. It is unclear how many are in the newly evacuated zone.
