Twelve people guarding incoming aid lorries were among those killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, local medics and the Hamas-run Civil Defence authority have said.
Seven guards were killed in a strike in Rafah while protecting aid lorries from violent armed theft, which UN workers say is the main obstacle to getting supplies into southern Gaza.
Another attack left five guards dead in Khan Younis.
The Israeli military said it "conducted precise strikes on armed Hamas terrorists" who had planned to hijack the lorries.
"The occupation once again targeted those securing the aid trucks," Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told the AFP news agency.
