Crowd is fired on at chaotic Gaza aid-distribution site, killing at least 1 and wounding 48

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — A crowd was fired upon while overrunning a new aid-distribution site in the Gaza Strip set up by an Israeli and U.S.-backed foundation, killing at least one Palestinian and wounding 48 others, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country killed senior Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar, apparently confirming his death in a recent airstrike in Gaza. Speaking before parliament, Netanyahu included Sinwar in a list of Hamas leaders killed in Israeli strikes. He was the brother of Yahya Sinwar, one of the masterminds of the militant group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack, who was killed by Israeli forces last year.
