Gaza (Quds News Network)- At least six security officers guarding humanitarian aid from looting in the central Gaza Strip were killed in Israeli strikes on Tuesday. Gaza’s Government Media Office said Israel launched eight strikes on the security guards protecting the aid. “It has become clear that the occupation army is operating in a systematic way to enable looting the aid and medicine trucks to ensure that they do not reach those who need them,” the Office said in a statement. Israel has allowed limited humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza, following a wave of international condemnation over its 11-week total blockade of the territory, which has prompted warnings of mass famine. What Happened? On Tuesday, around 31 aid trucks were on the way to warehouses, passing by the main roundabout at Salah Adin Street near Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, but the looters, enabled and protected by Israel, opened fire on the convoy, attempting to seize the desperately needed supplies. A group of security officers intervened to stop the attack, yet Israeli forces directed missiles at the group, killing the teams trying to protect the aid. The assault didn’t stop there. Civilians nearby rushed to rescue the bombed group only to be targeted immediately. When others hurried to rescue the wounded, they too were struck.

At least 8 Palestinians were injured last night following a terror attack by Israeli settler militias on the town of Bruqin, in the central occupied West Bank.

During the attack, the assailants set fire to homes and vehicles, according to local sources.

Even the ambulances and vehicles sent to transport the injured and dead were not spared. Over eight consecutive airstrikes rained down on that area, leaving behind a devastating toll of martyrs and wounded. Israel has been systematically attacking police members securing aid delivery, creating a very unstable security environment and allowing armed gangs to take advantage of the situation. The Palestinian Civil Society Network condemned the attack, noting the trucks were carrying supplies designated for bakeries in Gaza City and northern Gaza. It added that over the past four days, no more than 119 trucks with limited supplies have entered Gaza, “an Israeli attempt to create a false impression about the blockade.”
