“An Israeli strike has targeted law enforcement and security personnel securing the delivery of aid trucks coming from Karem Abu Salem [Kerem Shalom] crossing to the main road leading to Rafah city and distribution points designated to UNRWA, Unicef and other international organisations,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Beit Hanoon, Gaza.

“This is not the first time we’ve seen this kind of attack. It is another violation of the terms of the ceasefire and a failure of the Israeli side to secure a safe route for the Gaza Strip. Aid workers have been killed in similar attacks, as well as security guards hired by the Interior Ministry to secure the delivery of aid,” he said.

The Israeli military used the same technique as previous attacks, deploying drones, which is another violation of the terms of the ceasefire, Mahmoud added.
