Al Jazeera: a UN humanitarian aid convoy was fired at in Gaza

    UN vehicles delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip were fired upon and cargo was stolen.

    According to the Qatari TV channel Al Jazeera, three drivers were injured in the attack.

    It is noted that a convoy with UN humanitarian aid was attacked in the central part of the Palestinian enclave. 14 trucks out of 20 moving from the southern border towards the city of Deir el-Balah were fired upon, and the food they were transporting was stolen.

    The situation in the Middle East deteriorated sharply after the infiltration of militants of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory on October 7 last year, accompanied by the killing of residents of border settlements and hostage-taking. In response, Israel launched an operation in Gaza with the aim of destroying the military and political structure of Hamas and freeing all those abducted, reports tass.ru.
