UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees Friday said an aid convoy came under fire by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip.
Though there were no casualties reported. “Israeli soldiers fired at an aid convoy as it returned from northern Gaza along a route designated by the Israeli army — our international convoy leader and his team were not injured but one vehicle sustained damage,” UNRWA’s director in Gaza, Tom White, wrote on X.
