Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip opened fire as people headed towards a food distribution site a kilometre away at around sunrise on Monday, killing at least three people and injuring dozens, health officials and a witness said. The military said it fired warning shots at “suspects” who approached its forces.

The shooting occurred at the same location where witnesses say Israeli forces fired a day earlier on crowds of people heading towards the food distribution hub in southern Gaza run by the Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

The Israeli military said it fired warning shots on Monday toward “several suspects who advanced toward the troops and posed a threat to them,” around a kilometre (1,000 yards) away from the food distribution site at a time when it was closed. The army denied it was preventing people from reaching the site.

    I wrote a comment and it was removed for “anti semitism”

    Mods it’s not antisemitism to attack the genocidal colony that is mass murdering children

    For the record it said

    Israel has no right to exist. They are a colony of depraved monsters

    Stop using “anti semitism” to censor legitimate condemndation

        Yes it appears so. Not sure how much of it is down to the narcissistic Germans who think they are being righteous by repressing and censoring pro Palestine voices.
