Israeli military says it is investigating incident but initial statement claims ‘no incidents’ of forces firing at people in aid convoy
“We survived death, they shot at us, there are many martyrs, there are many injured, we almost died to get our children a bite to eat,” said Alaa al-Khoudary, a resident of Gaza City who had just returned from the roundabout carrying a bag of aid.
Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant will leave on Sunday for talks in the United States, amid growing tensions between the allies over the war in Gaza. Standing near a long line of waiting trucks, Mr Guterres declared it was time to “truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid,” calling the starvation inside Gaza a “moral outrage”. He said it was time for Israel to give an “ironclad commitment” for unfettered access to humanitarian goods throughout Gaza.
Israel said on Friday it would send its troops to fight Hamas in the nearby city of Rafah, even without US support. Iranian-backed Houthis launched the missiles in the vicinity of M/V Huang Pu, a Chinese-owned oil tanker, the Central Command said in a post on X.
