KABUL (Pajhwok): At least 57 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes while attempting to seek aid in Gaza over the past 24 hours, according to a media report. Many of the victims were shot dead while waiting near the Zikim crossing into Israel for trucks carrying aid, the Guardian reported.

The Israeli Defense Forces said it would begin airdropping aid into Gaza on Saturday night. Humanitarian corridors are going to be established for convoys from the United Nations, according to The Associated Press.

The terror group has reportedly reinstated its previously abandoned kill order on its captives if Israeli forces or anyone else closes in an attempt to retrieve the 50 remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip,

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on record. Hamas confirmed in a statement early Thursday that it sent the proposal to mediators.
