Victims ‘told to line up in groups for entry and food, then shot’

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and his government admitted last week that Israel is funding and arming ISIS-linked criminal gangs and allowing them to operate freely in Gaza. The operations have already included deadly attacks on starving Palestinian civilians desperately seeking food – which Israel then tried to use to avoid admitting that its own forces had slaughtered dozens of refugees seeking aid at the Israel-fund and -protected ‘GHF’ ‘aid’ sites.
But now the terrorist group’s crimes have reached a horrific new level – under the noses of Israeli troops and US mercenaries in the supposed ‘aid’ station. Canadian-Palestinian Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Mosab Abu Toha, who still has extensive family in Gaza, set out the appalling scenario of refugees tricked into lining up for ‘food distribution’ only to be murdered where they stood:
… a group of armed people pretended to help line up people before going to the aid site in Rafah before they opened fire at people in the heads. At about 3AM, people heard gunshots. People assumed these shots signaled the arrival of some food trucks. They hurried to the area, just close to the al-Alam Roundabout (less than 2 miles away from the GHF aid site).
There were gunmen who told them they needed to line up before they allow them to go to the aid site a hundred persons each time. There were some shooting in the air and also on the ground not far from people’s feet.
Video of the incident and its aftermath has begun to leak out from Gaza:

Israel is a terror state. At the time of writing the UK government has not mentioned this atrocity and continues to actively assist in Israel’s genocide and other crimes in Gaza, providing direct military assistance, shipping weapons and components and giving political cover and silence to the genocidal colonisers.
