At least 18 Palestinians were killed after a Hamas police unit trying to claim control over a market in the city of Deir Al-Balah in the center of Gaza.

Eyewitnesses, Israeli drones, a Hamas police force fired members of the members of the police, wearing civilian clothes and wearing masks, price carved and charged trucks, accused of selling the looted goods, said they were faced with the sellers.

The Ministry of Interior, run by Hamas, condemned the strike by “accusing a new crime against a police unit in charge of maintaining a public order”.

BBC contacted the Israeli army to comment.

An eyewitness, BBC conflicts on Thursday, after the police confronted the sellers, the unit commander shouting, he said: “Either sell at a fair price or seizing goods.”

Eyewitnesses, some sellers “pistols out the pistol and a man had Kalashnikov,” he said.

Local residents said that Israeli drones later fired two missiles.

A doctor at the Al-Aqsa hospital of Deir Al-Aqsa said that the BBC 18 bodies were brought to the morgue there. It was not immediately clear that how many of those killed were a police officer.

The incident came as the civilians in Gaza continued to struggle to reach GZA to access the GZA with limited goods available in the daily shots reported in the distribution areas of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in South and Central Gaza.

The GHF, accused of violating human principles by international aid groups, won $ 30 million from the United States on Thursday and supported Israel’s efforts to see that it has become the biggest aid organization in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of “once again seizing the control of humanitarian aid … and stealing from civilians in Northern Gaza, because he gave the army two days to design a” action plan “to prevent it.

After entering the gate of dhikim, with armed and masked men, a truck convoy came after a truck convoy on Wednesday withdrawn on Wednesday.

Israel’s far -right National Security Minister Itamar I shared the video on social media and called on Hamas that “captured the control of food and goods” and called Netanyahu to stop the entry of aid to Gaza.

Hamas refused to steal or profit from help, and Gaza’s High Committee of Tribal Affairs, a committee of Hamas, which was not connected to Hamas during the war, rejected Israel’s “wrong claims” in a statement on Thursday.

“The assistance was provided with tribal efforts.” He said.

Thursday, thousands of aid parcels were distributed in a warehouse in Gaza City.

Hamas had political officials, but said that their roles were “controller” and that they were responsible for distributing about 6,000 food parcels.

“This morning, when I woke up to the message that told me to get help, all my young and old children began to sing and dance with joy. He told God that this blessing was staying with us.”

Again on Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that he had been delivered to Gaza on Wednesday since March 2.

Nine trucks carrying medical equipment, 2,000 units of blood and 1,500 plasma, “despite high -risk conditions” was moved without looting. Kim Tedros said Adhanom Ghebreysus.

He added that the amount was “just a decline in the ocean”.

Blood and plasma, many, in connection with the events in the fields of food distribution, in the midst of an increasing flow of injury to the midst of critical families “hospitals” for the excessive distribution of Nasser Medical Complex, he said.

Before the strike on Thursday, at least 14 Palestinians were killed and dozens of wounded in the Israeli military attacks in Gaza since midnight.

Rescue teams evacuated 14 bodies, including three Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid near the Wadi Gaza Bridge near the Netzarim corridor in Central Gaza.

A medical source at the nearby Al-Awda Hospital confirmed that three Palestinians were killed and that the Israeli armed fire near the Wadi Gaza Bridge was injured.

Witnesses said that Israeli drones opened fire on a large crowd of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid during the attack.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) told the BBC that a meeting was identified in an area adjacent to the troops in the Netzarim corridor overnight and that the troops made warnings to prevent suspects approaching them.

IDF said he was aware of reports about the number of injured individuals in the region, but the first investigation claimed that the number did not comply with the information of IDF. However, IDF added that the details of the incident are under additional examination.

Elsewhere, five people were killed in an Israeli air strike at a school with displaced families in Western Gaza.

In the Al-Mawasi region of Khan Younis, in the south of the lane, five members of the Abu Arab family were killed when an Israeli air strike hit a tent. Another Palestinian was killed in a strike that hit a tent in Al-Mawasi.

Others were injured in strikes.

IDF said he examined these reports, but wanted certain coordinates and hours. In general, IDF said, “Hamas is active to dismantle military capabilities”.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, and about 1,200 people were killed and 251 people were hostage.

According to the Ministry of Health operated by Hamas of the region, at least 56,259 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
