The Israeli army killed at least 14 more Palestinians, including five guards escorting aid trucks, and injured dozens in several airstrikes and shelling across the Gaza Strip.

A medical source said that five Palestinians guarding aid trucks were killed in western Rafah city, southern Gaza Strip, while over 20 others were injured in Israeli airstrikes.

According to Palestinian figures, the Israeli army has killed over 720 Palestinian policemen and security personnel guarding aid trucks in Gaza since the onset of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza in October last year.

The Israeli army also targeted a car in western Khan Younis city, leaving two Palestinians dead, according to a medical source.

In the central Gaza Strip, the Al-Awda Hospital said the bodies of four Palestinians and 12 others injured were brought to the hospital after an Israeli airstrike on the northern area of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Another Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire inside a school sheltering displaced people in the western Nuseirat refugee camp.

The onslaught was the latest episode in a brutal Israeli war on the Gaza Strip that has killed over 45,200 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.

Meanwhile The Israeli army displayed a series of weapons they said were seized in southern Lebanon.

Speaking to the media in northern Israel, army spokesman Nadav Shoshani said many of the weapons were Iranian and had come through Syria, adding that others were Russian, Chinese and made by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.

Shoshani said that Hezbollah had fired 18,000 rockets and missiles during the war in the north.

A ceasefire deal was signed last month between Israel and Hezbollah. Under the terms, Israeli forces may remain in Lebanon for 60 days. Israel has not established settlements in southern Lebanon, including when its military occupied the area from 1982-2000.
