Twenty-nine Palestinians were killed, most of them at aid distribution points, and dozens were injured in the Israeli occupation forces' bombardment of several areas in the Gaza Strip since dawn on Thursday.

Medical sources said that two citizens were killed in an Israeli bombardment that targeted the Batn Al Sameen area, south of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. A woman and her child were also killed in a bombardment that targeted the town of Abasan Al Kabira, east of the city. Three others were killed in a bombardment that targeted the tents of displaced people in Mawasi Al Qarara, west of the city, and two others were killed by Israeli occupation forces' fire in the same area.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, has risen to 55,207 martyrs, in addition to 127,821 wounded.

The US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) accused Palestinian resistance group Hamas of attacking a bus carrying its staff to a distribution site on Wednesday, saying at least eight people were killed.

Hamas declined to comment on the shootings.

GHF said it handed out 2.6 mn meals on Thursday.
