The IDF releases aerial footage of what it says shows Palestinian gunmen opening fire amid a crowd of Gazan civilians waiting for aid at Kuwait Square in Gaza City last night.
According to the IDF, the footage is from an hour before the aid trucks had arrived at a corridor in northern Gaza where the convoy later drove through.
Hamas health authorities accused Israeli troops of opening fire from “tanks and helicopters” at the civilians waiting for aid, killing 21 people and wounding more than 150 others.
The IDF said that according to an initial probe, Israeli forces did not open fire at any stage during the incident.
The probe found that Palestinian gunmen opened fire in the crowd an hour before the trucks arrived, as well as later when the convoy drove through.
The IDF says it is continuing to investigate the incident.
