“WARNING SHOTS WERE FIRED”
The military on Sunday said an initial inquiry indicated its troops “did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site”, and urged “media to be cautious with information published” by Hamas.
But according to an Israeli military source, “warning shots were fired towards several suspects who advanced towards the troops” overnight.
The incident took place “approximately one kilometre away” from the GHF distribution centre, outside of operating hours, the source said.
Army spokesman Effie Defrin said on Sunday that “Hamas is doing its best, its utmost, to stop us from” distributing aid, and vowed to “investigate each one of those allegations” against Israeli troops.
