Shortly before 7:15 a.m. on May 29, 2025, a number of Palestinian civilians were injured and killed in a shelling allegedly conducted by the Israeli military while attempting to retrieve humanitarian aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation on al-Tina Street in Khan Younis.

Several people posted in the early morning to report an attack at the distribution center north of Rafah on Al-Tina Street resulting in “martyrs and wounded”. At 7:15 AM local time, Rafah City News posted a call for ambulances for groups of families “heading to receive American aid” at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid center in Rafah. Many other users re-shared similar messages confirming the location and the injury of a group of civilians.

User Sadoon Daher on Facebook warned readers against going to distribution centers, calling them a trap with the risk of being bombed and killed.

Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to the Israeli military.

Geolocation indicates GHF proximity.
