Gaza Tragedy: 17 Palestinians Killed in Israeli Gunfire Near Aid Distribution Site Gaza, Palestine - At least 17 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured on June 10, 2025, when Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of refugees near an aid distribution point in Gaza. The incident, which occurred during a time of heightened tensions, has sparked international outrage. Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos and panic as people scrambled for safety. "I saw people falling to the ground, children crying, it was horrific," said one witness who wished to remain anonymous. Mohammed Abu Salmeya, a spokesperson for a local hospital, described the injuries as "severe and critical." He stated that many victims required complex surgeries. "Since last night until now, the Shifa Hospital has received 25 bodies and 70 injured. Most of the victims were from the aid distribution center in the Sderot area," Salmeya reported.
