At least 104 people were killed as Palestinians gathered at
an aid distribution point in northern Gaza on Thursday, the
health ministry in the Hamas-run territory said. The Israeli
military said it was looking into the incident. The news
came hours after the health ministry said the death toll
in Gaza had surpassed 30,000 people. Read our liveblog for
the latest developments.

They were NOT in a 'queue' - they MOBBED the trucks
as soon as they entered Gazan territory. Total anarchy.
BBC showed extensive thermal-cam drone footage and
it looks like a thousand ants who just found sugar
cubes.

The truck drivers panicked and ran over a bunch of
people. The mob enlarged and drifted too close to
the Israeli checkpoint and they started shooting.
It is unclear how many Gazans killed other Gazans
fighting over the food. In short, the proverbial
total stain.

The images did not have enough resolution to detect
whether Hamas soldiers were present. However BBC said
the truck drivers were Gazans, not Israeli or Egyptian
or UN.

The other day we heard that nobody wants to drive
those trucks anymore because it's too terrifying.
Now, there's gonna be a BIG problem getting drivers
at all, word has got out. They may just have to
back trucks up to the border fence and/or use UN
marked trucks with uniformed UN drivers. Some
air-drops have been done in the north.

Anyway, 'Gaza' as a civilization is DEAD. They're
tearing each other apart. While I understand the
Israeli goal, it really is playing out now as a
species of 'genocide'. Israel needs a different
tact at this point - I think it has already
burned its historic holocaust card here.
