Israeli military personnel stated, this Saturday (30), that they murdered a person who, according to them, had participated in the Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. The officers also said that he was an employee in Gaza of the World Central Kitchen, an institution charity based in the United States.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that three World Central Kitchen employees were killed when an Israeli strike targeted a civilian vehicle in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Doctors in the Gaza Strip said a total of five people were killed in the attack, which they said targeted a vehicle east of Khan Younis.

In total, at least 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on the enclave overnight on Friday and Saturday, according to Gaza doctors.
Among them, at least seven died in an Israeli attack on a house in central Gaza City, according to a statement from Gaza Civil Defense and WAFA early Saturday.
New ceasefire efforts
