In the past 24 hours, a mortar bomb fell in the area of Nir Oz, near a group of local authority heads. No injuries were reported.

Also today, 121 humanitarian aid trucks carrying rice, sugar, oil, fruit and dairy products have been transferred to Gaza via the Sufa and Kerem Shalom crossings.

It should be noted that in recent weeks, the Palestinians have been attempting to generate an energy crisis by failing to withdraw from fuel supplies available to them at the Palestinian terminal of the Nahal Oz fuel depot. Moreover, Hamas bears responsibility for the murderous 9 April attacks on Israeli workers at the Nahal Oz fuel depot, which has caused some disruption in the terminal's service in recent days. Yet at the same time, they have been instigating a strike and protest rallies, as well as carrying out a campaign in the media regarding supposed shortages.
