Aid seekers in Gaza continue to be targeted as Israeli attacks kill 26
At least 26 people, including more aid seekers, have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks on Gaza. The attacks come as desperate Palestinians under Israeli blockade continue to wait at food distribution points amid an ongoing hunger crisis. Among those killed during Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave on Saturday, 11 were aid recipients at distribution centres run by the United States-and-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which the United Nations has condemned for its 'weaponisation' of aid. Meanwhile, Wafa news agency reported that at least three people were killed and several others wounded by an Israeli drone strike that targeted displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi, southern Gaza. The report said that the attack targeted a tent sheltering displaced members of the Shurrab family. The tent was located in an area the Israeli military had previously designated as a 'safe zone'. In the last 48 hours, at least 202 people have been killed, including four recovered bodies after Israeli attacks, and 1,037 wounded by Israeli attacks across Gaza, the Health Ministry reported. Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, at least 55,908 people have been killed, and 131,138 have been wounded in Israeli attacks. Attacks on aid sites In recent days, Israeli attacks on aid distribution sites in Gaza have ramped up as thousands of Palestinians gather daily in the hope of receiving food rations following a two-month Israeli blockade of aid deliveries. On Saturday, three people were killed at a GHF site in Khan Younis after Israeli forces opened fire. Several people were also wounded and taken to medical facilities. Omar al-Hobi, a displaced Palestinian in Khan Younis, told Al Jazeera from a hospital that walking to those sites means you 'enter the point of death'. 'I call it the point of death. The tank is in front of us, the machinegun is in front of us, and the quadcopter is above us, and there are soldiers on the ground with snipers. Anyone who moves before the time is shot, and the moment the tank retreats, we start running,' al-Hobi said. Israel claims its attacks at the aid sites have been to control crowds, but witnesses and humanitarian groups have said that many of the shootings took place unprovoked, resulting in hundreds of casualties. The Red Cross said on Thursday, the 'vast majority' of patients who arrived at its field hospital in the enclave since the GHF aid system began at the end of last month had reported that they were wounded while trying to access aid or around distribution points. Meanwhile, Wafa, citing the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority in the Gaza Strip, reports that there has been a disruption in internet and landline services affecting the governorates of Gaza, which include Gaza City, and north Gaza. There is currently an ongoing outage in the southern and central areas of the Gaza Strip that has lasted for more than three days.

Pro-Palestinian activists break into UK military base
Pro-Palestinian activists have broken into a Royal Air Force base in central England and claimed to have damaged two military aircraft to protest against the UK government's support for Israel's war on Gaza. The campaign group Palestine Action said two members entered the RAF Brize Norton military base in Oxfordshire, spraying paint into the engines of the Voyager aircraft and attacking them with crowbars. 'Despite publicly condemning the Israeli government, Britain continues to send military cargo, fly spy planes over Gaza and refuel U.S./Israeli fighter jets,' the group said in a statement on Friday, posting a video of the incident on X. 'Britain isn't just complicit, it's an active participant in the Gaza genocide and war crimes across the Middle East.' The video showed footage of two people whizzing on electric scooters through the Brize Norton base. One of them then used repurposed fire extinguishers to spray red paint into the turbine group said the red paint 'symbolising Palestinian bloodshed was also sprayed across the runway and a Palestine flag was left on the scene'. It said the activists were able to exit the military facility undetected and avoid arrest. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the 'vandalism' as 'disgraceful' in a post on X. The Ministry of Defence and the police were investigating the incident. 'Our Armed Forces represent the very best of Britain. They put their lives on the line for us, and their display of duty, dedication and selfless personal sacrifice are an inspiration to us all,' a ministry statement said. 'It is our responsibility to support those who defend us.' Earlier this month, pro-Palestine campaigners gathered outside the British Parliament in London to demand a full arms embargo and hard-hitting sanctions on the Israeli government. The UK-based Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) found the UK increased its licences to Israel for military equipment after the government announced a temporary arms suspension in September 2024. The government also refused to suspend the shipment of components of F-35 fighters, arguing it would cause a 'profound impact on international peace and security'.
