Hey everyone, big news from the Middle East! Israel’s Military Advocate General has kicked off an internal probe after Haaretz shared soldiers’ testimonies alleging orders to use live fire on Palestinians near food distribution hubs in the Gaza Strip.
According to the accounts, soldiers claim that brigade-level commanders ordered live fire to clear the approaches, even when the crowds—reportedly unarmed—aren’t posing an immediate threat. Some reports mention that these orders were repeated in at least 19 separate incidents over the past month. 😮
The situation is further complicated by a UN report stating that over 410 people have been killed while trying to reach four Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites since late May. However, the GHF executive director labeled these figures as "disinformation" during a Sky News interview. 🗣
With the conflict already claiming over 56,000 Palestinian lives and 1,706 Israeli lives—figures backed by independent tallies from Reuters and the UN humanitarian office—this probe adds another layer to an already complex issue. Stay tuned as more details emerge, and remember to always check reliable sources for the latest updates!
