Dozens of Palestinians were killed and injured while waiting for humanitarian aid at Gaza’s Kuwaiti roundabout on Thursday.
Although the enclave’s Hamas-run health ministry claimed that Israeli forces targeted the group of people waiting for humanitarian aid in a statement on Thursday, the IDF has denied the accusations and proceeded to investigate the incident further.
According to the IDF, the passage of humanitarian aid was allowed into the area, and about an hour before the aid arrived, Palestinian gunmen were spotted shooting in the vicinity.

As the trucks carrying the aid entered, the gunmen continued firing while they looted the trucks. In addition to the shooting, civilians were also found to be run over by the trucks.
“The reports that the IDF attacked dozens of Gazans on Thursday evening at a humanitarian aid distribution point are not true,” IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichai Adraee said.
Further examination was done on the IDF operational systems, showing that IDF tank fire, air fire, and ground forces firing at the Gazan crowd in the area of Gaza’s Kuwaiti roundabout can be ruled out.
The IDF is investigating the incident further, claiming that Hamas terrorists are harming civilians in Gaza and spreading lies that blame Israel for their actions.
