The GHF said there were no incidents at or near its sites Wednesday.

The US and Israel support GHF, an American contractor, as an alternative to the United Nations, which they claim allows Hamas to siphon off aid. The UN, which has delivered aid throughout Gaza for decades when conditions allow, denies the allegations.

Aid convoys from other groups travel within 100 meters (328 feet) of GHF sites and draw crowds. An overwhelming majority of violent incidents over the past few weeks have been related to those convoys, the GHF said.

Israeli fire killed at least six other people waiting for aid trucks close to the Morag corridor, which separates parts of southern Gaza, Nasser hospital said.

Palestinian fatally shot in West Bank violence

An Israeli settler shot dead a Palestinian on Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

The Israeli military said dozens of Palestinians hurled rocks toward an off-duty soldier and another person carrying out โ€œengineering worksโ€ near the village of Duma, lightly wounding them. It said the soldier initially fired warning shots, then opened fire in self-defence.

The health ministry identified the deceased as Thamin Dawabshe, 35, a distant relative of a family targeted in a 2015 firebombing in the village by a settler. That attack killed a toddler and his parents. The attacker was convicted and handed three life sentences.
