PALESTINE – Israeli attacks on Gaza Strip early Saturday killed at least 49 Palestinians, including 16 who were seeking humanitarian aid.

According to medical sources, 12 bodies were transferred to the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City after Israeli forces opened fire at the aid distribution area along the Netzarim Corridor.

In the town of Al-Zawaida, an Israeli airstrike targeted a family home killing five members of the same family including three children.

Meanwhile, three members of the same family were killed and others wounded when an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on tents sheltering displaced families near the Industrial Junction in northern Khan Younis.

Another two women were killed in strike on a tent in northwest Khan Younis.

Overnight, Israeli forces continued to demolish homes and facilities in the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis, witnesses said.

In Rafah, Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians waiting for aid near a distribution center operated by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, killing one and injuring 25 others.
