A SCOTTISH comedian has condemned an Israeli attack on Palestinians at an aid distribution site in Gaza.
Stand-up comic Kevin Bridges said the attack was "horrendous" as he said people had become "desensitised" to seeing such stories regularly in the news.
It is understood to be the first comment Bridges has made on Gaza since Israel's brutal assault on the enclave intensified in 2023.
The comedian shared a tweet from Sky News on Monday morning which stated: "BREAKING: More than 30 people have been killed after Israeli troops opened fire towards crowds of Palestinians waiting for aid, according to witnesses and hospital officials".
Quoting the tweet, he said: "Insane how desensitised we're becoming to these daily headlines and how it's just accepted now. Horrendous."

The tweet was referring to the news on Saturday that more than 30 people were killed after Israeli troops opened fire at crowds of Palestinians waiting for aid at distribution hubs run by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
Since the US- and Israel-backed GHF sites were established at the end of May, more than 900 people have been killed while trying to seek aid.
The following day, at least 79 Palestinians were killed while waiting for food trucks to arrive.
On Sunday, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) reported large crowds came under gunfire near the Zikim crossing with Israel as 25 aid trucks carrying "vital food assistance" were arriving.
Medical teams said that 79 people were killed and more than 150 people were injured, many of them in critical condition.
A statement published by the WFP said that civilians came under fire from Israeli tanks, snipers and other gunfire as the aid convoy approached.
Responding, First Minister John Swinney condemned the "unbearable" attack as he called for a ceasefire in Gaza to allow humanitarian aid to enter the enclave.
The lack of food entering Gaza has led to humanitarian organisations such as the UN warning the Strip is at imminent risk of famine.
In the last day, at least 18 people have died from hunger, Gaza's health ministry said.
