Israel warns Gaza residents to avoid aid routes after 27 killed in shooting near food centres

At least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for food at an aid centre in Gaza, officials said Tuesday. Israel has since warned residents to avoid roads near such sites, calling them “combat zones”, as it admitted its troops had opened fire during the incident.
