Four Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire while approaching an aid distribution center in Gaza, according to Gaza health workers. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated they fired warning shots after a perceived threat. This incident follows several deadly events near aid centers run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a new organization backed by Israel and the US. The GHF's aid distribution system, bypassing the UN, has faced widespread condemnation from humanitarian groups due to its operational flaws and ethical concerns. The IDF imposed strict time limits for accessing the aid centers, designating areas outside those times as active combat zones.
