Overnight, the IDF says troops fired warning shots at Palestinians who approached forces “and posed a threat” in the Netzarim Corridor area.
The incident took place hundreds of meters from an aid distribution site, hours before it opened, according to the IDF.
The military says the Palestinians approached the troops “despite warnings that the area is an active combat zone.”
Palestinian media reported that some 20 people were killed and dozens were wounded in the incident.
The military says it is aware of the reports of casualties by its gunfire in the area, but “the reported number of casualties is inconsistent with the information available to the IDF.”
The IDF says it is further investigating the incident.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
