• A United Nations team finds many injured in Thursday’s Israeli attack on Palestinians awaiting food aid in Gaza City have gunfire wounds, as the acting director of al-Awda Hospital says 80 percent of the wounded brought to the hospital had been shot.
• The bodies of three more Palestinians killed in the food aid ‘massacre’ have been recovered, Gaza’s Health Ministry announced, bringing the overall death toll to 115, with some 760 wounded.
• The United States military will airdrop humanitarian aid into Gaza, as Israel continues to restrict the access of vital humanitarian supplies via land routes.
• Seven Israeli captives were killed as a result of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, according to Hamas’s Qassam Brigades.
• At least 30,228 people have been killed and 71,377 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from the October 7 attacks stands at 1,139.
