Hamas accuses Israel of firing into crowds during humanitarian distribution, killing nine people. In a press release, the ministry mentions "at least nine martyrs and dozens of injured by tank fire and shells from the Israeli occupation army" On March 14, the Hamas Ministry of Health had already reported 20 deaths and more than a hundred injured in “Israeli fire” in similar circumstances, in the same area.
The next day, the Israeli army spoke of shooting by “armed Palestinians”, denying these accusations.
