Israeli soldiers killing each other amid heavy censorship in Gaza
Details of what officials called an extremely serious security event have been strictly blacked up by the Israeli military.
In Khan Younis, an Israeli armored vehicle was hit by an anti-tank missile, reportedly killing one soldier. Five hours later, his body was found. The public has not been given access to all of the event's specifics due to military censorship. Israeli helicopters arrived nearby at the same time, and violent altercations ensued. Low-flying aircraft, heavy artillery fire, and intensive aerial activity were recorded by local sources. According to reports, an Israeli helicopter fired two missiles at locations in the center of Khan Younis.
In another incident in the northern Gaza Strip, the Israeli army acknowledged that two military engineering trucks collided in Beit Hanoun, resulting in the death of a soldier. The military provided no additional information, only describing it as a deadly accident. Both occurrences took place in the midst of a fresh wave of resistance activities and ongoing Israeli operations in Gaza.

Since the ground invasion started on October 27, 2023, 72 troops have died in what the military refers Gaza as "operational incidents," according to updated statistics made public by Israeli Army Radio. There have been 440 soldiers killed in ground combat, including these casualties. Ammunition explosions, internal vehicle crashes, work-related mishaps, and friendly fire are examples of operational occurrences. Out of 32 military fatalities since Israeli operations resumed on March 18, two troops have perished in such instances.
In Khan Younis, Palestinian resistance groups declared fresh assaults on Israeli troops and vehicles. They have made videos of their operations in Gaza's north and south public in recent weeks. Since March 18, 30 troops have been murdered, the most by explosives, according to Israeli military radio. The assaults are a part of the continuous opposition to the war on Gaza, which Palestinian organizations describe as a genocidal conflict that has been going on since October 7, 2023.

US aid centers closed in Gaza after bomb attack injures US workers
ALBAWABA - The U.S. and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) says that all U.S.-linked aid delivery centers in Gaza have been shut down permanently after an explosion that hurt two American aid workers. The event happened as tensions were building and more people were criticizing the foundation's work in the besieged area. The GHF said on Saturday that the two American staff members were hurt but not seriously in an attack on a food delivery site in Khan Younis, which is in the southern part of Gaza. Early reports say that two attackers threw hand grenades at the workers near the end of a job distributing food. The Americans who were hurt are currently in stable health and getting medical care. The centers were shut down after weeks of growing complaints. The Gaza Ministry of Interior had warned the public not to go near the GHF just two days before, calling it a "trap for mass death and humiliation" and saying it regularly violated people's rights. The Ministry said it would not do business with the group and told people and groups in and outside of Gaza not to work with the GHF or its agents in any way. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority confirmed that the American troops were hurt and said that the Israeli military has begun an investigation into what happened with the explosion. Along with an effort by the US and Israel to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, the GHF has been working without the UN since May 27. Violence, on the other hand, has harmed the project. Many Palestinians have been killed and hurt when Israeli forces opened fire on them while they were gathering near GHF aid points. Human rights groups call this a brutal operation that forces civilians to choose between going hungry or dying. United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) says that since the GHF aid project began, at least 500 Palestinians have died and about 4,000 have been hurt while trying to get food. Reports of shootings, arrests, and chaos around the distribution sites every day have only made people want an international investigation and the return of humanitarian control led by the UN. The attack on the American workers is a new step in the rising backlash against the GHF. In Gaza, more and more people see their presence as a sign of foreign control and suffering.
