Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted civilians at distribution points with no security or coordination in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1365\">In one of the most brutal attacks, Israeli tanks and naval boats opened fire on thousands of Palestinians gathered near a U.S.-operated aid center in southwest Rafah, along the Egyptian border, early Sunday morning. The assault left at least 31 dead and nearly 200 injured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\" data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1755\">Eyewitnesses told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the attack occurred between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m., near Alam Roundabout on the coast. Civilians retreating from tank fire were met with gunfire from Israeli warships. Inside the distribution area, only four aid trucks were available\u2014woefully insufficient for the massive crowd. Survivors fled empty-handed. Many never made it home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1962\">Ambulances were barred from accessing the area, classified by Israel as a &#8220;military zone.&#8221; Victims were transported using plastic sheets, bicycles, and donkey carts over a period of nearly three hours.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18297\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22.jpg\" alt=\"Palestinian and human rights organizations have categorically rejected the Israeli military\u2019s narrative regarding the recent massacre near a humanitarian aid center in western Rafah\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/22-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rafah aid massacre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"2000\">Eyewitness Accounts of Massacres<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2114\">Since May 27, the Gaza Government Media Office has recorded 52 deaths and 340 injuries at these aid centers.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2302\">\n<li class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2302\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2302\">Mohammad Al-Zaban (28) described constant gunfire from Israeli tanks, forcing people to seek shelter behind dirt mounds or retreat to the sea\u2014only to be shot by naval forces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-29\" data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2383\">\u201cMost of the martyrs fell on the beach.
