Palestinian officials call latest assault ‘premeditated’ as people seeking humanitarian supplies increasingly targeted.

At least 21 Palestinians have been killed after Israeli forces opened fire on thousands of people waiting for aid in Gaza City in the same area that was targeted hours earlier, government officials said.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza described the late Thursday attack as a “new, premeditated massacre” and said more than 150 people were wounded.

It was the latest in a string of assaults on people desperately in need of food and other essential supplies as Israel continues to obstruct and severely control the entry of aid into the enclave.

Witnesses told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces had used helicopters, tanks and drones to target thousands of people waiting on food trucks.

    They released the drone video. The massacre happened before the Israelis showed up with gunmen shooting at the crowd. Seems like IDF is getting wise to the propaganda game and getting the videos out quickly now.

    Not that any of that matters with headlines like this.

    With all the videos on the ground, it’d be interesting to see one showing attack helicopters and planes if that happened.
