Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz denounced a Haaretz report alleging Israeli soldiers fired upon unarmed Gazans seeking food near distribution sites, calling it "blood libel." The report quotes anonymous soldiers describing orders to shoot at civilians, even those posing no threat, creating a "killing field." The Gaza Health Ministry reports over 500 deaths and 4,000 injuries in the past month. The UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated the situation constitutes massive violations of international law. Israel's military denies the allegations, while the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which runs the sites, calls for an investigation. Aid workers condemn the GHF's food distribution plan, citing numerous injuries and deaths.
