Israeli army claims unarmed brothers killed in Nablus were ‘terrorists’
The Israeli military says “two terrorists were eliminated and 10 wanted individuals were arrested” during its largest raid on Nablus in the occupied West Bank in two years that lasted 30 hours.
This is while images and footage from the scene of the killing showed how Israeli soldiers shot down two unarmed brothers who approached to go to their house to move their family out and away from the Israeli raid.
In a statement, the Israeli army also said its soldiers searched more than 400 buildings, interrogated dozens of people in the field, and found makeshift weapons and equipment along with ammunition.
US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation says 5 aid workers killed in attack
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the US and Israel-backed organisation established to supplant the aid work of the United Nations, has accused Hamas of killing five staff and wounding multiple others in an attack on a bus en route to a food distribution centre.
A bus carrying more than two dozen Palestinians working with the organisation was “brutally attacked” while travelling to a distribution centre west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the foundation said in a statement late last night.
While the organisation was still gathering facts, “at least” five people were killed and there were “multiple injuries”, the foundation said, adding there were fears that some of its staff had been taken captive.
Hamas, for its part, has yet to comment on the accusations. Last week, the group responded to a GHF statement that claimed Hamas threats had prevented the organisation from distributing aid, saying that no such threats existed.
