Six Palestinians were killed and several wounded by Israeli gunfire near a Gaza aid distribution center, according to Hamas officials. The incident occurred Saturday morning as people gathered to collect food. The Israeli military claims they fired warning shots at those approaching in a threatening manner. This latest incident, following days of violence and overcrowding at the aid center, is likely to intensify international criticism of the current aid distribution model. Separately, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 15 Palestinians in Gaza City, targeting a militant group leader.
