NNA – Israeli soldiers opened fire on Friday at an aid convoy as it was returning from Northern Gaza along a route designated by the Israeli army, said the UN agency for Palestinian refugees or UNRWA.nbsp;
ldquo;Israeli soldiers fired at an aid convoy as it returned from Northern Gaza along a route designated by the Israeli Army,rdquo; Thomas White, director of the agency in the Gaza Strip, said in a statement.
ldquo;Our international convoy leader and his team were not injured but one vehicle sustained damage,rdquo; he added.
White stressed that ldquo;aid workers should never be a target.rdquo;
During its months of attacks on Gaza, Israel has hit hospitals, residences, and places of worship, which under the rules of war should be off-limits.
There are also reports that after ordering civilians in northern Gaza to go south early in the war, the Israeli army fired on them en route.
Since Hamasrsquo; cross-border attack on Oct. 7, Israel has continued relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 21,320 Palestinians and injuring 55,603, according to local health authorities.
Authorities claim the Hamas attacks have killed around 1,200 Israelis.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with 60% of the enclaversquo;s infrastructure damaged or destroyed and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicines.–AA
