Hours after Palestinian media reported dozens of casualties by Israeli fire at a humanitarian aid distribution site in southern Gaza, the IDF says it is “unaware” of the reports.
“At this time, we are unaware of injuries caused by IDF troops’ fire within the [humanitarian aid] distribution site,” the military says, adding that “the matter is still under review.”
When asked for a clarification, the IDF did not deny that gunfire was carried out, but said it was unaware of any injuries caused.
Earlier, Palestinian media said some 30 were killed and over 150 were wounded by Israeli fire at one of the aid distribution sites in Rafah this morning. Another person was killed and over a dozen were injured at an aid distribution site in the Netzarim corridor area, the reports claimed.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said that the aid was handed out “without incident,” adding that reports of casualties were “untrue and fabricated.”
