No relief supplied distribution in Gaza-Diepresse.com on Wednesday
« It is strictly forbidden to enter the areas of the distribution centers, » says an Israeli army spokesman. The centers are to be reopened on Thursday.
The Israeli army urgently warns the population in the Gaza Strip of visiting the controversial distribution centers for relief goods on Wednesday and on Wednesday due to « renovation work ». The streets there would be considered combat areas, a army spokesman said on X. After reporting on fatal shots on Palestinians at the centers, Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF), responsible for the distribution of relief goods, wants to improve security.
The centers would remain closed for « renovation, organizational and efficiency improvement work ». For this purpose, logistical preparations would be made to be set to larger crowds. In addition, the Israeli army wanted to use the time to prepare safe access routes, reported the « Times of Israel ». On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the Israeli military shot on Palestinians who would have approached the troops. They deviated from a path approved in advance.
An Israeli army spokesman warned the residents of Gaza to go to areas on Wednesday that lead to the distribution centers. « It is strictly forbidden to enter the areas of the distribution centers! » The centers are to be reopened on Thursday.
According to the health authority controlled by the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas on Tuesday, Israeli soldiers are said to have killed at least 27 Palestinians near a distribution center near Rafah and injured around 90 more. On the other hand, the Israeli army said that soldiers had seen around half a kilometer from the distribution center away suspects who had presented a threat. However, since these had not returned despite warning shots, the soldiers would have shot on individual suspects. All of the information cannot currently be checked independently.
UN chief Guterres demands investigation
The GHF had started the distribution of the relief supplies over the centers a week ago in the south of the sealed coastal strip. So far, she claims to have distributed more than six million meals. In the area of these centers, Palestinian reports are said to have been similar to similar fatal incidents in which dozens of Palestinians are said to have been killed.
According to the new reports on Palestinians killed by the auxiliary centers, UN General Secretary António Guterres confirmed his demand for consequences. « The Secretary General continues to call for an immediate, independent examination of these events and the accountability of the perpetrators, » said UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric in New York. « It is unacceptable that civilians try to procure food, risk their lives and even lose in several cases. »
Israel enables the GHF to distribute relief goods in the Gaza Strip in order to avoid aid organizations from the UN and other initiatives. The United Nations criticized this and accused Israel of using humanitarian aid as a weapon.
Aid deliveries blocked
Since March, Israel’s government had blocked all aid deliveries into the sealed coastal area. According to her, the pressure on Hamas should be increased so that the last hostages kidnapped during the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel has only loosened the blockade for around two weeks. The war was triggered by the attack by Hamas and other Islamist terrorists to Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 were delayed as hostages into the Gaza strips.
The Israeli government justifies the controversial realignment of humanitarian aid in Gaza with the fact that the deliveries had previously been stolen by Hamas. According to the UN organizations, however, there are no evidence of the systematic robbery of humanitarian aid by Hamas.
The US government, however, defended the help previously provided by the GHF – and at the same time held on to her at its distance. It is an independent organization that does not get any money from the US government, said the spokeswoman for the US State Department, Tammy Bruce, on request in Washington.
Rakets from Syria hit at occupied Golan heights
Meanwhile, fired missiles fired from Syria for the first time in more than a year in Israeli -controlled areas. The Israeli army said that the two floors went down on the Golan heights occupied by Israel. There were initially no reports on injured people. According to their own statements, the Israeli armed forces reacted to the shooting point with artillery fire and bombed a arms camp in southern Syria.
It was the first rocket attack from Syria since May 2024, which hit Israel or Israeli -controlled area, the newspaper « Times of Israel » wrote. At the same time, it was the first attack of this kind from Syria since the fall of the Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad in December.
Rocket fire from Yemen too
Almost at the same time, according to Israeli military information, a rocket from Yemen entered the Israeli airspace. The Israeli air defense caught the floor fired by the Houthi militia in Yemen, as the army announced. There were initially no reports on damage or injuries. Since the beginning of the Gaza War in October 2023, the Proiran Houthi -Miliz Israel regularly attacks rockets and drones – according to their own statements as an expression of their solidarity with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
