Six Palestinians, including people waiting for aid, have been killed by the Israeli forces' gunfire and ongoing bombardment in areas across the Gaza Strip.
WAFA news agency reported on Saturday that at least six Palestinian civilians, including aid-seekers, were killed and dozens wounded in the early hours of the day from Israeli regime forces' intense machine gun fire and ongoing bombardment on Gaza City and Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian medical sources cited by WAFA said a child was killed in Israeli artillery shelling on the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City, and an elderly man was killed in Israeli forces' gunfire in the Al-Mawasi area southwest of Khan Younis.
Also, two more Palestinians were killed and approximately 17 others were injured in a separate attack as a result of Israeli shelling of gatherings of civilians at a humanitarian aid distribution point south of Wadi Gaza, in the central Gaza Strip.
Israeli machine gun fire near an aid distribution point southwest of Khan Younis killed three more Palestinians a short while later.
Since October 7, 2023, the regime forces have carried out a genocidal war on Gaza, killing and wounding more than 225,837 people across the Palestinian territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recently announced plans to seize all of the Gaza Strip and launch an incursion into Gaza City after indirect talks with the Palestinians Hamas resistance movement failed in July.
Meanwhile, Israeli regime forces' strikes have intensified across neighborhoods of Gaza City in recent weeks, leaving scores of Palestinians killed in the attacks this week alone.
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres renewed his call for a ceasefire in Gaza on Thursday.
UN humanitarian officials have warned of the "beyond catastrophic" impact of Netanyahu's plans, plunging the enclave into yet another deadly escalation of violence.
Leading genocide scholars have passed a resolution confirming that the Israeli regime's atrocious actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide.
In November 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Israeli regime also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its war on the besieged coastal territory.
