This marks the first documented instance of simultaneous strikes on both water and food distribution points within a 24-hour period, targeting the two most basic survival needs. The targeting of US-backed humanitarian facilities represents an unprecedented breach of international aid protocols. This combination of attacks on basic life-sustaining resources creates a new pattern of civilian infrastructure targeting not seen in previous conflicts.
Gaza Water Point Strike: 70 Dead as Humanitarian Crisis Peaks
📰 What Happened
Israeli airstrikes killed at least 70 Palestinians in Gaza on July 13, 2025, including 10 civilians gathered at a water distribution point. The attacks followed failed ceasefire negotiations in Qatar between Israel and Hamas. The day prior saw 110 Palestinian casualties, with 34 killed while waiting for food at a US-backed GHF site in Rafah. Israeli forces targeted homes, water collection points, and shelters for displaced people across the Gaza Strip, marking an intensification of civilian infrastructure strikes.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The concurrent targeting of water points (70 killed) and food distribution centers (34 killed at GHF site) aligns with Revelation 6:8's prophecy of death by famine and sword. The breakdown of US-backed humanitarian protections fulfills Zechariah 14:2's prediction that Jerusalem's allies will ultimately fail to protect it. The systematic targeting of basic survival infrastructure - water, food, and shelter - creates unprecedented conditions matching Jesus' Matthew 24:21 warning of tribulation 'such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.'
