White House says it will look into reports of IDF firing at Gazans before drawing conclusions

The White House says it is aware of reports of Israeli troops firing on Palestinian aid seekers near a food distribution site in southern Gaza, which the IDF has disputed, saying it targeted suspects.

“We’re going to look into reports before we confirm them from this podium or before we take action,” says White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt at a press briefing.

“The administration is aware of those reports, and we are currently looking into the veracity of them. Because unfortunately, unlike some in the media, we don’t take the word of Hamas with total truth.”
