Gaza Aid Center Attack: 31 Dead, Israel Denies Targeting Civilians A tragic incident unfolded in Rafah, Gaza, on Saturday morning, leaving at least 31 people dead after an attack on a Gaza aid distribution center. Eyewitnesses claim Israeli forces opened fire on crowds gathered near the center. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reported the incident, highlighting the chaos and devastation. However, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) denies targeting civilians, asserting that those killed were armed Hamas gunmen. "Everyone was on the side of the road, and they were shooting randomly at people," stated an eyewitness, recounting the horrific scene. A British surgeon working in a local hospital, Dr. Victoria Rose, described the situation as "absolute carnage." She confirmed that the emergency department was overwhelmed with patients suffering from gunshot wounds. The IDF released drone footage claiming to show armed Palestinians firing weapons before the attack. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation maintains its claims of civilian targeting are accurate.
