The IDF denies the claims: "Palestinians shot in the vicinity of civilians before the arrival of humanitarian aid" The Gaza Ministry of Health claimed that dozens of Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid had been killed and wounded by IDF fire. The army published a document in which it said armed men were seen shooting near civilians in Gaza - about an hour before the humanitarian aid convoy entered the scene.
"We would like to emphasize that there was no shooting by IDF forces at the aid convoy in Kuwait Square," an IDF spokesperson said.
