Israeli troops opened fire on crowds of Palestinians seeking food from distribution hubs operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, leading to at least 32 deaths. The shootings occurred near hubs operated since May, initiated due to claims that Hamas militants were siphoning aid. The U.N. denies these claims. Israeli army stated that warning shots were fired after a group approached troops, while eyewitnesses reported indiscriminate gunfire targeting people near aid sites, which are in military-controlled zones. The foundation claims no incidents occurred at its sites.
Mahmoud Mokeimar described an incident where he was walking toward a hub with many people when the troops opened fire indiscriminately, resulting in multiple deaths and many injuries.
Akram Aker recounted that troops used machine guns and drones to fire directly at a crowd of people approaching a distribution hub, leading to numerous casualties.
