BREAKING| Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, Ashraf Al Qudra:
⭕️The Israeli occupation forces are committing systematic killing operations against 700,000 people in northern Gaza through targeting and starvation.
⭕️The massacre at Al Nabulsi Roundabout claimed the lives of more than 70 martyrs and left 280 wounded, marking a new turning point in the series of genocide.
⭕️Dozens of injuries, some critical and serious, have been admitted to Al Shifa Hospital, potentially raising the death toll of the massacre to at least 100 martyrs.
⭕️Medical teams are unable to cope with the volume and severity of injuries reaching Al Shifa Hospital due to the lack of medical and human resources.
⭕️We demand the international community to halt the genocide war waged by Israel with American and European support.
⭕️We call on the international community to provide a safe humanitarian corridor to allow the delivery of medical and humanitarian aid, as well as fuel, to northern Gaza.

HAMAS IS RESPONSIBLE
When Hamas launched its attacks on Israeli soil on October 7, 2023, around 1,200 Israelis died, 253 kidnaped and 5,431 were injured, did anyone in the Gaza strip dare protest? Were there outraged Muslims, anywhere in the world?
Of course not.
Jihad is Islam. 800+ million bodycount in 1400 years (*by their own bragging).
But when the victims dare mount a counterattack, the screams of outrage pour forth.
Of course, you should know that Islam allows for lying to infidels, in order to advance Islam. (See kitman and taqqiyah)
It is a fact that Hamas hid their infrastructure among (alleged) innocents, using them as shields. So ultimately, the 29,782 Palestinians killed, and 70,043 injured, fall on the heads of Hamas. For if they didn’t commit the initial attack, there would be no reason to respond.
Never blame the victim’s response to the aggressor. That plays into the hands of the aggressor. Same for the law. Any injuries inflicted during a felony are blamed upon the criminals, even when they didn’t do all of them.
Hamas is the guilty party, for all deaths and injuries.

Zionists Use Food-Baits To Attract And Kill Starving Civilians
February 29, 2024
The Zionist occupation forces send food into the northern Gaza strip to then kill starving Palestinians who try to collect it.
Food aid reaches north Gaza for first time in weeks, Israeli officials say - AP, Feb 28 2024
Aid convoys carrying food reached northern Gaza this week, Israeli officials said on Wednesday, the first major delivery in a month to the devastated, isolated area, where the UN has warned of worsening starvation among hundreds of thousands of Palestinians amid Israel’s offensive.
...
Across Gaza, more than 576,000 people, a quarter of the population, are a step away from famine, the UN says.
But northern Gaza in particular has been gutted by hunger. The north has largely been cut off and much of it has been levelled since Israeli ground troops invaded in late October.
Several hundred thousand Palestinians are believed to remain there, and many have been reduced to eating animal fodder to survive.
...
A convoy of 31 trucks carrying food entered northern Gaza on Wednesday, the Israeli military office that oversees Palestinian civilian affairs said.
The office, known by the acronym COGAT, said nearly 20 other lorries entered the north on Monday and Tuesday.
Associated Press footage showed people carrying sacks of flour from the distribution site.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the deliveries.
The UN was not involved, said a spokesman for the UN’s humanitarian co-ordination office, Eri Keneko.
The trucks were sent by the Zionists. No other organization was involved. But when people came near to the trucks to collect the food they had carried into Gaza the Zionist went berserk:
‘Massacre’: Dozens killed by Israeli fire in Gaza while collecting food aid - Al Jazeerah, Feb 29 2024
More than 100 Palestinians have been killed and some 700 others wounded after Israeli troops opened fire on hundreds waiting for food aid southwest of Gaza City, health officials say, as the besieged enclave faces an unprecedented hunger crisis.
The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Thursday said at least 104 people were killed and more than 750 wounded, with the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemning what it said was a cold-blooded “massacre”.
...
People had congregated at al-Rashid Street, where aid trucks carrying flour were believed to be on the way. Al Jazeera verified footage showing the bodies of dozens of killed and wounded Palestinians being carried onto trucks as no ambulances could reach the area.
“We went to get flour. The Israeli army shot at us. There are many martyrs on the ground and until this moment we are withdrawing them. There is no first aid,” said one witness.
Reporting from the scene, Al Jazeera’s Ismail al-Ghoul said that after opening fire, Israeli tanks advanced and ran over many of the dead and injured bodies. “It is a massacre, on top of the starvation threatening citizens in Gaza,” he said.
...
One Palestinian man told Quds News Network the military attack was a “crime”.
“I have been waiting since yesterday. At about 4:30 this morning, trucks started to come through. Once we approached the aid trucks, the Israeli tanks and warplanes started firing at us, as if it was a trap.
“To the Arab states I say, if you want to have us killed, why are you sending relief aid? If this continues, we do not want any aid delivered at all. Every convoy coming means another massacre.”
The Zionist are deliberately starving Palestinians.
But this is even worse.
The killing today was not by chance. I do not believe that it was unintentional. The food deliveries were under Israeli controls. So were the troops who killed the Palestinians who tried to collect the 'aid'.
This is not the first time that a food convoy or aid distribution has been used by the Zionists to attract and then kill starving Palestinians.
This is an extremely brutal and cynical way to genocide them.

100+ KILLED: IDF FIRES On Starving Gazans Swarming Aid Truck
NYT STANDS BY DEBUNKED IDF Propagandist Report
Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
More on this from Zero Hedge. It's their top story right now.
Aid Truck Stampede 'Massacre' in Gaza: Israel Accused of Opening Fire on Crowd
There are reports of a mass casualty event in Gaza City on Thursday, with Hamas claiming at least 104 Palestinians killed and several hundred wounded or injured (though casualty numbers have fluctuated in the immediate aftermath). However, Israel is disputing local accounts of what happened and says people died following a stamped caused by Palestinians rushing aid trucks.
There are several different versions of what happened, but all accounts agree that mayhem was unleashed when some 30 humanitarian aid trucks containing food were positioned on the street under Israeli protection. Gaza has been on the brink of famine, and so reportedly hundreds of people rushed toward to trucks hoping to obtain something.

Desperate Gazans seeking food, aid and shelter, via Times of Israel
And that's when according to The Guardian, "An Israeli source said Israeli troops opened fire on Thursday at 'several people' among a crowd that surrounded aid trucks in the Gaza Strip after feeling under threat."
Quickly in the aftermath, and as gruesome videos emerged from the scene, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement condemning what he described as "the ugly massacre conducted by the Israeli occupation army this morning."
Palestinians say that Israeli troops shot indiscriminately into the crowd and used the aid trucks in a kind of "ambush" - while Israel's military says people were killed in a "stampede for aid" and "crowd crush", and that some of the deaths were the result of Israeli soldiers being under immediate threat.
Widely circulating video from the aftermath (warning: disturbing images)
(the tweet has been deleted, but this was the text)Harsh scenes after the occupation committed a massacre against Palestinians on Al-Rashid Street in Gaza while they were waiting for aid.
Al Jazeera's on the ground account is as follows:The more we talk to people about what happened during the attack near Gaza City this morning, the more it becomes clear they feel it was a trap, an ambush.
As soon as people approached incoming trucks carrying food aid, they were shot at. There were attack drones in the sky. There was also fire from naval forces and armored vehicles in the vicinity.
All at once, these military forces fired at a group of people who were hungry, traumatized and displaced. People who were just trying to get their hands on whatever they could to feed their families and stay alive.
The number of dead from the attack has now risen to 104 and there are still, unfortunately, injured people left on the road. Paramedics, civil defense crew and volunteers are trying to help get these people to hospitals, but are finding it very difficult to get to the area. We are expecting the number of casualties to increase even more in the coming hours.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are admitting that at least some of the deaths are the result of Israeli fire. "However, the army also acknowledged that troops opened fire on several of the Gazans, who they said were endangering soldiers," reports Times of Israel.
https://twitter.com/IDF/status/1763192520790458664
The IDF is saying that the vast majority of the deaths were the result of the stampede itself, or being run over by trucks, after "looting" broke out. There were reportedly some 30 trucks and thousands of Palestinians rushing past checkpoints during the mayhem to try and access the aid.
Israel has since published overhead drone footage which its says vindicates its version of events, but which also included the admission of shooting people in the legs. The below contains the IDF version of events:According to an initial IDF probe of the crush, the vast majority of the casualties were a result of trampling and being struck by the aid trucks.
The incident began at around 4 a.m., when some 30 trucks carrying humanitarian aid arrived at the coast of Gaza City, to deliver food to Palestinians in the Rimal neighborhood.
...Dozens of Palestinians who rushed the last truck in the convoy began to move toward an IDF tank and troops stationed at the military’s checkpoint, the investigation found.
An officer stationed in the area ordered soldiers to fire warning shots in the air as the Palestinians were within a few dozen meters, as well as gunfire at the legs of those who continued to move toward the troops, the probe said.
The IDF said that fewer than 10 of the casualties were a result of Israeli fire.
Below is the drone footage published by Israel's military:
https://twitter.com/i/status/1763174751042695313
The Associated Press has interviewed one of the victims and has published the following eyewitness account:Kamel Abu Nahel, who was being treated for a gunshot wound at Shifa hospital, said he and others went to the distribution point in the middle of the night because they heard there would be a delivery of food. “We’ve been eating animal feed for two months,” he said.
He said Israeli troops opened fire on the crowd, causing it to scatter, with some people hiding under nearby cars. After the shooting stopped, they went back to the trucks, and the soldiers opened fire again. He was shot in the leg and fell over, and then a truck ran over his leg as it sped off, he said.
Medics arriving at the scene on Thursday found “dozens or hundreds” lying on the ground, according to Fares Afana, the head of the ambulance service at Kamal Adwan hospital. He said there were not enough ambulances to collect all the dead and wounded and that some were being brought to hospitals in donkey carts.
Hamas has released a statement saying this mass killing calls into question the future of ceasefire talks. "The negotiations conducted by the movement’s leadership are not an open process at the expense of the blood of our people," the statement said as reported by Reuters.
Just days ago President Biden raised eyebrows in hastily and seemingly prematurely declaring his hope that a truce deal between Hamas and Israel would be achieved by Monday. But now this is even less likely, though that timetable was acknowledged as unrealistic by all parties in response. A spokesperson for Biden's National Security Council said this in the wake of Thursday's Gaza City tragedy: "This is a serious incident and we are looking into the reports. We mourn the loss of innocent life and recognize the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where innocent Palestinians are just trying to feed their families."
Amid the increased desperation and some initial reports that children in Gaza have already begun dying of starvation and malnutrition, the US administration is now said to be mulling air-dropping food crates and medical supplies over Gaza. Jordan has already been doing this with some degree of success, as we previously highlighted.

Re: Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War
In an imaginary Hollywood movie, a giant 1 megaton nuke was smuggled into Tel Aviv and Israel was erased from the map. (Watch The Sum of All Fears, a VERY good Tom Clancy movie.)
Israel's AI-controlled Dead Man's Handle, exercising the Samson Option, fired the entirety of its own nuclear missile arsenal at Iran. But advanced Russian S-550 air defenses shot them all down.
No-one took responsibility, no-one would ever knew who actually did it, and no country was willing to take the risk of making an assumption and retaliating against a possibly innocent country.
Many, in an equally imaginary audience, stood and and cheered at the end.

Biden says reported firing on Gaza food line will complicate truce talks
President Joe Biden said on Thursday the United States was checking reports of Israeli troops firing on people waiting for food aid in Gaza and that he believes the deadly incident will complicate talks on a ceasefire, Reuters reports.
“I know it will,” Biden told reporters when asked whether the incident would complicate negotiations.
Health authorities in Gaza said Israeli fire on people waiting for aid near Gaza City on Thursday had killed 104 Palestinians and wounded 280, with one hospital saying it had received 10 bodies and dozens of injured patients.
“We’re checking that out right now,” Biden said as he left the White House for a trip. “There’s two competing versions of what happened. I don’t have an answer yet.”
He also said a temporary ceasefire probably would not happen by Monday, as he had earlier predicted.
“I was on the telephone with the people in the region. Probably not by Monday, but I’m hopeful,” Biden said.
Israel and Hamas as well as Qatari mediators all sounded notes of caution this week about progress towards a truce in Gaza, where health authorities say more than 30,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks.
The war began when Hamas sent fighters into Israel on 7 October, killing around 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
However, since then, it has been revealed by Haaretz that helicopters and tanks of the Israeli army had, in fact, killed many of the 1,139 soldiers and civilians claimed by Israel to have been killed by the Palestinian Resistance.
