BREAKING: Haaretz Confirms Israeli Soldiers Ordered to Fire on Unarmed Starving Civilians at Aid Sites A major Haaretz investigation confirms Israeli soldiers in Gaza were ordered to shoot at unarmed Palestinians gathering near food distribution sites — even when they posed no threat. Soldiers described the areas as a “killing field,” noting: “There’s no enemy, no weapons.” Here are some of the most important findings from the report: ➛ IDF officers say the killings aren’t isolated mistakes but part of a pattern dubbed “Operation Salted Fish” — the Israeli version of Red Light, Green Light. “We shoot, they run, we shoot again,” one soldier said. “This is our communication.” ➛ At least 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 wounded near these aid centers since May 27, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Many were waiting for UN food trucks. ➛ Testimonies reveal Israeli commanders instructed troops to open fire on civilians approaching aid sites before they opened or after they closed — using machine guns, mortars, and grenades. Soldiers described systematic live fire, including from tanks. ➛ One officer said they fire “to signal to the population that this is a combat zone.” Soldiers reported casualties every day. Another soldier recalled being told to fire a shell at a crowd “to send a message.” ➛ Israeli soldiers said demolition crews are often present at aid sites — and that private contractors are being paid to level homes nearby. One fighter said, “People are being killed so someone can knock down a house and get paid.” ➛ IDF officers told Haaretz the army suppresses footage from these sites, believing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) helps preserve “international legitimacy” for the war. ➛ Israel’s military prosecution has ordered the General Staff’s Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism to investigate the shootings for possible war crimes. ➛ The aid centers are run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which was set up by Israel with help from pro-Trump evangelical figures in the U.S.

Photos from the funeral of two-year-old Layla Khateeb who was shot in the head during an IOF raid in the city of Jenin in the West Bank. According to her family, they were preparing to have dinner when Israeli sniper lasers appeared inside the house, and bullets were suddenly fired directly at them. She was her mother’s only child, as her father had passed away when she was still an infant.

My name is Dr. Neena Jha. I am a family doctor. I am calling for the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. He was abducted by the Israeli forces. I am calling for protection of hospitals and medical workers in Gaza. And an end to the genocide. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

France has called for Albanese's removal from her position at the UN due to her antisemitism. The University of Toronto needs to reconsider allowing Francesca Albanese to present a talk on campus. Hate speech disguised as an academic endeavor is still hate speech. @UofT

As an Israeli-American Physician Scientist, Son to Holocaust Survivors, I reject attempts to shut down @uche_blackstock, @oni_blackstock, others. We should all be horrified at the silence of U.S. Medical Organizations & Journals on the devastation of Gaza. #ThisIsOurLane

More than 40 organizations are calling on a UN Committee to hold Canada accountable for its support of serious violations of women’s rights in Gaza through arms exports to Israel and tax subsidies to charities that aid the IDF ihrp.law.utoronto.ca/news/im…

For 23 days, a one-year-old girl named Sawar has been lying in the ICU in al Aqsa hospital. No one has visited her since the first day. She is the only survivor from her family everyone else was killed. Now, she fights alone, struggling against death and loneliness.💔💔🇵🇸

100%. All of them. You just seem to have trouble naming the war crimes of Hamas. Using human shields. Using hospitals and schools for military purposes. And you didn’t answer the simple question. Does Israel have a right to exist within any borders? Or is there fact that it’s there at all too much for you? Lastly David as a physician working with many Zionist and Jewish colleagues and patients maybe you should consider how they feel about your posts. You are not going to solve the problems there with social media. But you are significantly contributing to the climate of distrust in medicine in Canada. Let’s try to be empathic to each other.

Reminder: al-Shifa hospital director, Mohammed Abu Salmiya, has been kidnapped by the IDF for 196 days Released Gazans who saw him in detention camps say he was chained & leashed; forced to walk on all fours & eat from an animal bowl; & excessively tortured with broken limps!
