For months, the U.N. and experts have warned that Palestinians in Gaza are at risk of famine, with reports of increasing numbers of people dying from causes related to malnutrition.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it has carried out "systematic learning processes" to improve its "operational response" in order to ease tensions between Gazans and the IDF at aid distribution points. It says it is putting up fences, placing signs, and opening extra routes, among other steps.

Overnight Friday and into Saturday, Israeli airstrikes and gunfire killed at least 42 people, the AP reported. Dozens were shot at waiting for aid trucks near the Zikim crossing, in northern Gaza. Israel's military said it fired warning shots to distance a crowd "in response to an immediate threat" and it was not aware of any casualties.

The Israeli military has killed at least 67 people waiting for UN aid lorries in northern Gaza, the territory's Hamas-run health ministry says. The UN World Food Programme said its 25-truck convoy "encountered massive crowds of hungry civilians which came under gunfire", soon after it crossed from Israel and cleared checkpoints.

World Health Organization staff and their families were stripped and interrogated at gunpoint as they sheltered from an Israeli offensive in central Gaza.

Israel’s ability to continue its military onslaughts is dependent on a sophisticated international funding system.

A top general in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned that Israel will continue with its campaign against Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, just four weeks after a fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended its 12-day war with Tehran.

The bodies of an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldier and two civilians killed in the Hamas-led October 7 attacks have been recovered from Gaza in a military hostage recovery operation.

An Israel Defense Forces investigation concluded that the strike on the Holy Family Parish compound on July 17 was the result of an accidental mortar round that veered off course during "operational activity" by IDF troops in the area of Gaza City,
