Palestinians are reported to have been killed and wounded in another shooting as they gathered near an aid distribution site in central Gaza. According to Palestinian journalists, those killed were fired on by Israeli troops. Information on Saturday's incident is scarce as the internet has been down in Gaza for more than two days.

The Israeli military said its forces fired warning shots toward suspects who were advancing while posing a threat to the troops.

It was the second such shooting in three days near a food distribution center, which is part of a contentious new Israeli and American-backed initiative.
