At least 27 people killed as Israeli military fires at ‘suspects’ who advanced toward troops

# Rescuers said the Israeli military killed at least 27 people near a US-backed aid centre in Gaza today, with the army reporting it had fired on suspects who advanced toward the troops. The UN human rights chief condemned such attacks as a breach of international law and a war crime, after a similar shooting in the same area on Sunday killed and wounded scores of Palestinians seeking aid. The Israeli army also announced three soldiers had been killed in northern Gaza.
