Israeli forces have killed more than 51 Palestinians and wounded many more after opening fire near an aid distribution site in southern Gaza, witnesses and rescuers say.

…

Witnesses say that Israeli forces opened fire and shelled an area near a junction to the east of Khan Younis, where thousands of Palestinians had been gathering in the hope of getting flour from a World Food Programme (WFP) site, which also includes a community kitchen nearby.

A local journalist and eyewitnesses said Israeli drones fired two missiles, followed shortly after by a shell from an Israeli tank positioned between 400 and 500m away from the crowd. The explosions caused many casualties.

The crowd had assembled near a key road leading to the town of Bani Suheila, an area that has seen weeks of ongoing Israeli military operations.
Nasser Hospital, the main functioning medical facility in the area, has been overwhelmed by the number of casualties. It is so overcrowded that the many wounded are lying on the floor as medical staff treat their injuries.

At least six people including children were killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City on Saturday, according to Shifa and Al Ahli hospital officials.

One child was rescued alive and carried to paramedics by his father.

The dead bodies of a boy and girl were also recovered during the search, and placed in ambulances.

7. You know all Palestinians aren't Hamas, right?

You know that there are mostly just random average people walking around Palestine that just don't want to get killed? But, if you want to empower Hamas, one way to do that would be to just keep killing random citizens including children. That will certainly not make Palestinians want to support Israel.
