18 killed in Israeli strike targeting Gaza police distributing flour, officials say
Briefly

An Israeli airstrike in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah killed 18 people, including civilians and members of the Sahm security force tasked with distributing aid. This incident marks another in a series of deadly air attacks by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) amid a humanitarian crisis exacerbated by a blockade. Food scarcity has reached critical levels for Gaza's 2.3 million residents, and although aid attempts have been made, obstacles remain, including Israeli military restrictions and looting incidents, complicating distribution efforts.
Eighteen people have been killed in an Israeli strike targeting Palestinian police distributing flour in a market in the central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah.
The strike is the latest in a series of air attacks that has killed hundreds of desperate civilians in the devastated Palestinian territory.
