Hamas says it gave a “positive” response to the ceasefire in Gaza

Killing Israeli air strikes 15 Palestinians in Gaza early on Friday, while a hospital said that 20 other people had died in the shooting while waiting for help. Meanwhile, Hamas said it had given a “positive” response to the last suggestion of the ceasefire, although it said the negotiations were necessary on how it was implemented.

The United Nations Human Rights Office says it recorded 613 Palestinians who were killed in one month in Gaza while trying to get assistance.

Most of them were killed while trying to reach the distribution points of foods managed by an Israeli -supported American organization, while others were collected waiting for the United Nations associated aid trucks or other humanitarian organizations.

Ravenna Shamdasani spokeswoman said that the Rights Office was unable to attribute responsibility for the killings. But she said: “It is clear that the Israeli army has rushed and shot the Palestinians trying to reach the distribution points” run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

In a message to Associated Press, Shamdasani said that 509 killings were among the total number of killing were “linked to GHF”, which means or near distribution sites.

“Information continues to reach,” she added. “This is continuing and it is unacceptable.”

GHF has denied any serious injuries or deaths in its locations and says that the shooting outside its direct surroundings is subject to the clarification of the Israeli army. In a statement on Friday, GHF cast a doubt about the losses of losses and accused the United Nations of trying to “discredit our lie.”

Israeli army It also issued new evacuation orders on Friday in the northeast of Khan Yunis and urged the Palestinians to move west before the planned military operations against Hamas in the region. The new evacuation areas pushed the Palestinians to increasingly smaller areas on the coast.

20 on Friday was killed while requesting help

Since GHF began the distributions in late May, witnesses said almost daily that the Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian crowds on the roads that lead through military -controlled areas to food centers.

Officials at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis said at least three Palestinians were killed on Friday to the GHF sites in the Rafah area in southern Gaza.

The Israeli army has previously said that it was shooting the bullets to control the crowds or Palestinians approaching its forces.

On Friday, in response to the United Nations report, she said in a statement that she was investigating reports of people who were killed and injured while seeking assistance and that he had instructed the forces in the field based on the “lessons learned” from accident review. She was working to “reduce the potential friction between the population” and the Israeli forces, including by installing fences and placing marks on the roads.

Separately, the witnesses said that the Israeli forces open fire to crowds of Palestinians who meet in military -controlled areas to wait for aid truck entering Gaza to the United Nations or other relief organizations that are not associated with GHF. The crowds usually consist of desperate people for food who hold onto trucks.

On Friday, 17 people were killed while the trucks were waiting in East Khan Yunis in the Tahliya area, officials at Nasser Hospital said.

Three survivors told AP that they went to wait for trucks in a military “red area” in Khan Yunis and that the forces opened fire from tanks and drones.

“He was” a crowd of people, and what God helps them, who wanted to eat and live. “” There was direct fire. “

The air strikes also struck the Mawasi area The southern end of Gaza The Mediterranean Coast, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who lead their homes accommodate tents. Of the 15 people who were killed in strikes, eight women and one child were, according to the hospital.

The Israeli army said it was looking at Friday strikes.

The United Nations is investigating fires near auxiliary sites

In its statement, which was his reaction to the report of the United Nations Rights Office, GHF accused the United Nations of taking the personalities of victims “directly from the Hamas -controlled Ministry of Health” and “promoting false propaganda Hamas.”

Shamdasani, a spokesman for the United Nations Rights Office, told AP that the data “is based on our information collection through various reliable sources, including medical, human and human rights organizations.”

Rick Biberkin, representative of the World Health Organization, said that Nasser Hospital, the largest hospital in the south, receives dozens or hundreds of losses every day, most of which come from the vicinity of food distribution sites. He said that the steeped hospital had become a “huge shock suite.” The World Health Organization supports Nasser Hospital and other health facilities.

The International Committee of the Red Cross also said in late June that its field hospital near a GHF site was overwhelmed by 20 times in the previous months by mass injuries. She said that the losses were on its way to food distribution sites, and “the vast majority of patients were subjected to gunfire.”

Also on Friday, the Israel Army said a The soldier was killed In the fighting in the north of Gaza and the investigation was. More than 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the war began, including more than 400 during the fighting in Gaza.

“We’ll see what is happening. We will know over the next 24 hours,” US President Donald Trump told reporters late Thursday when asked whether Hamas had agreed to the last ceasefire frame.

A Palestinian official told AP on Friday that Hamas was still working on its response, as it was presented by the proposal by Egyptian and Qatari brokers.

He said that the response will be positive, but he added that Hamas insists on the guarantees related to the Israeli withdrawal to the positions it held on March 2, during a previous ceasefire, and ending the war after a 60 -day truce in addition to ending the GHF system to distribute aid. The official spoke, provided that his identity is not disclosed because he was not allowed to speak with the press.

Trump said on Tuesday that Israel agreed to the conditions of a 60 -day ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept the deal before the circumstances worsen.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the number of Palestinians who were killed in the region has exceeded 57,000.
