The Israeli Defense Forces are reporting that “terrorist organizations” have shot mortars at a new floating pier for humanitarian aid off the coast of Gaza City, which American troops plan to start assembling as early as this weekend. 

The pier came under fire Wednesday while United Nations officials were touring the area, according to Israeli press reports, though none of them were hurt. “The terrorist organizations continue to systematically harm humanitarian efforts while risking the lives of UN workers,” the IDF said in a statement after the attack, “while Israel allows the supply of aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip.”
