Dozens of Starved Civilians Killed or Injured in Israeli Attacks Near Gaza Aid Centers

Gaza  (Quds News Network)- Israeli forces killed and injured dozens of starved Palestinians on Sunday near so-called ‘aid distribution centers’ in southern and central Gaza. The strikes targeted areas where civilians were trying to access food and relief supplies.

According to medical sources, four Palestinians were killed and 70 others injured near a US-run ‘aid center’ west of Rafah. In a separate attack near Deir al-Balah area, Israeli gunfire killed one person and injured several more near another ‘aid point’ reportedly linked to the same US-backed operation.

Since May 27, at least 110 starved Palestinians have been killed and 583 injured while attempting to collect food from so-called ‘aid centers’ supervised by the infamous Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The government media office also reported nine people are still missing.

The foundation, which operates under Israeli military protection, has come under fire from local and international organizations. Critics say GHF was imposed as a replacement for UNRWA, which was banned by Israeli authorities. Several Western countries and humanitarian institutions have already rejected GHF’s work model, citing lack of transparency and effectiveness.

On Saturday, GHF admitted it had failed to distribute food parcels in Gaza, blaming alleged threats from Hamas. In a statement on its Facebook page, the foundation claimed it was “unable to proceed with aid delivery” due to “direct threats” without providing evidence.  Hamas denied the accusation. A spokesperson told Reuters there were no such threats and accused GHF of spreading falsehoods.

The spokesperson also said that Hamas’s armed wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, would begin deploying snipers near UN-led aid convoys to stop looters and protect food shipments. This measure follows repeated attacks on civilians waiting for aid and the growing chaos around distribution points.

The Government Media Office stressed its full readiness to secure and manage humanitarian aid once it enters the territory. In a public statement, it urged residents to help protect aid convoys and ensure supplies reach the displaced and hungry families.

The statement also highlighted the death toll among civil workers. Since October, over 750 police officers and thousands of government and municipal employees have been killed while supporting relief operations.

The office criticized the US-Israeli aid mechanism led by GHF. It described it as a total failure, lacking legal legitimacy and moral standards. The statement emphasized that only the United Nations and its specialized agencies have the mandate and field capacity to manage humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Despite Israel allowing limited UN-led aid operations since May 19, following an 11-week blockade, the UN says these efforts remain vastly insufficient. “A teaspoon,” is how the UN describes the trickle of aid entering Gaza amid widespread famine.

The Gaza Government has called on the international community to pressure Israel to allow full and safe access for humanitarian convoys, restore UNRWA’s operations, and stop targeting civilians gathering at aid points.

Israel Uses Suicide Drones Against Gatherings of Displaced Families

in Palestine

20/04/2025

In the early hours of April 17, four children were killed in a drone strike in central Gaza. Their burned and shredded bodies arrived at Shuhada’a Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. According to eyewitnesses, they had been playing near tents set up for displaced families when an Israeli drone hovered overhead. Moments later, it exploded.

These aren’t ordinary drones. They’re designed to kill, not scout or surveil, but to identify human gatherings and detonate mid-air. These are suicide drones, or what Israel calls “loitering munitions.” Their use in Gaza marks a chilling evolution in the occupation’s warfare: impersonal, cost-effective, and lethal with minimal accountability.

Rotem L: A Weapon Built for Urban Mass Killings

In 2018, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) tested its “Rotem L” suicide drone in southern occupied Palestine. Built for dense urban environments like Gaza, this drone was developed specifically to target gatherings of people. It is small, fast, and deadly—designed to be operated by a single soldier. The entire system can be deployed in under a minute.

Carrying a warhead of 6.5 kilograms, the Rotem L drone flies silently for up to 45 minutes, seeking its target. Once locked, it crashes directly into human beings. It’s a flying bomb with AI-powered guidance and minimal oversight. It can be “recalled” or “re-routed,” giving Israeli operators plausible deniability when children are killed, yet often, it is not.

IAI didn’t stop with Rotem L. It also developed Harop—a kamikaze drone that blends the precision of a missile with the stealth of a drone—and the Green Dragon, a tactical loitering munition meant for small infantry units. These systems boast silent motors, long flight times, and precise targeting capabilities. But in Gaza, “precision” often translates into “plausible deniability” for war crimes.

A Drone for Every Soldier, A Death for Every Tent

What makes suicide drones especially dangerous is their convenience. They remove the need for pilots. Any soldier, with a few hours of training, can launch, steer, and kill. No chain of command, no delay, no cockpit hesitation. In Gaza, that translates to spontaneous attacks on gatherings, including refugee camps, aid queues, and family tents.

Israel claims its drones can distinguish faces. If that were true, then the decision to strike gatherings of displaced civilians becomes even more sinister. These drones are not “mistaken.” They are deliberate. Their victims are not “collateral damage.” They are targeted.

Since October 2023, suicide drones have increasingly buzzed over Gaza’s skies. Sometimes they watch, sometimes they kill. Their constant presence creates psychological terror. Fighters and civilians alike know they can turn deadly in an instant. No warning. No escape.

A War Crime Disguised as Innovation

International humanitarian law prohibits attacks that fail to distinguish between civilians and combatants. Suicide drones, by their very design, challenge this legal principle. They rely on sensors and algorithms to decide when to strike. But no sensor can measure innocence. No AI can differentiate between a child and a fighter when both are huddled under plastic sheets.

Legal scholars warn of growing accountability gaps: suicide drone strikes often occur without public oversight, clear chain of command, or external review. Civilian deaths are brushed off as “technical errors.” Investigations are rare, and when they do occur, they are internal and classified.

Israel’s deployment of suicide drones over displacement camps highlights how technology is being weaponized to obscure war crimes. With no cockpit footage to leak, no pilot testimony, and no accountability trail, drone warfare offers Israel a way to kill anonymously—and repeatedly.

Cheap, Lethal, and Exportable

Another reason for Israel’s increasing use of suicide drones is economic. Unlike jets and missiles that require imported components, drones like Rotem L are made in-house. They’re cheap to produce and can be launched in large numbers. Some drones can even be carried in a backpack, allowing entire infantry squads to field their own airstrikes.

International arms watchdogs have already criticized Israel’s drone exports. Several countries have canceled or reconsidered arms deals after seeing how these drones are used in Gaza. But instead of curbing production, Israel has doubled down, framing the use of suicide drones as “precision warfare.”

The results, however, speak for themselves: mass death, destroyed families, and a generation of Gazan children growing up in the shadow of buzzing machines that rain death without warning.

Drones Don’t “Miss”—They Are Directed to Kill

Israel’s propaganda machine insists that its drone strikes are surgical. But the images from Gaza contradict this. Charred children. Shredded tents. Burned family members who were simply seeking shelter.

The claim of “precision” is a smokescreen. In reality, suicide drones are part of a broader strategy to erode Gaza’s social fabric—to make even moments of rest or play a potential death sentence. By normalizing this new method of warfare, Israel is writing a new chapter in the playbook of modern war crimes.

Voters need to INFORM THEMSELVES so they're not duped by LIES! ISRAEL's atrocities are widely reported...just not in CORPORATE MEDIA! It's always amazing that VOTERS believe ANONYMOUS FALSE ADS - never questioning who paid for it. While the solution is CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM, we need to question some of the outrageous LIES & DISINFORMATION.

ISRAELI SOLDIERS targeted MEDICS in CLEARLY MARKED CLOTHING - ISRAEL denied it - there's VIDEO proving ISRAEL LIED. ISRAEL set fire to TENTS - the only shelter GAZANS have & burned them alive. Palestinians released from ISRAEL spoke of horrendous TORTURE, ABUSE, BEATINGS. ISRAEL denies it - but the prisoners bear the scars. Sexual assault of both men & women was previously reported. MASS GRAVES of hospital personnel have been documented. Chemical burns, assaults, electric shocks - Gazans tell BBC of torture in Israeli detention https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn7vje365rno

Senator Bernie Sanders has sent a stunning message to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. In a video posted on his YouTube channel he has blasted the Israeli Prime Minister. He said, "Netanyahu government has killed more than 50,000 people and wounded over 112,000. They have destroyed virtually all of Gaza’s infrastructure. And on top of all that destruction, Netanyahu has ordered a total blockade: it has now been 31 days with absolutely NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel for a month."
