Israeli army claims it ‘did not fire at civilians’ at Gaza aid centre
A military statement says an “initial investigation” has found “troops did not shoot at civilians while they were near or in the humanitarian aid distribution area”.
“Hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent the success of the food distribution in Gaza,” Israel’s army said.
The army has consistently denied or played down deadly attacks it carried out on civilians throughout its devastating war on Gaza. Its statement is contradicted by eyewitness statements, video footage, and hospital reports on the aid site shootings.
Earlier, Hamas condemned Israel’s “brutal” attack on aid distribution points, particularly in Rafah, where dozens were reported killed by the authorities in Gaza.
And the mainstream media is too afraid to call out what happened, look at the mental gymnastics and changing of headlines:

Reports of shooting at aid distribution centre ‘appalling’: UK minister
British Minister for the Middle East and North Africa Hamish Falconer says reports of dozens of people killed and wounded near the Rafah aid delivery site are “appalling” and point to “the desperate need to get aid in”.
“Israel must allow partners to operate in line with humanitarian principles and deliver lifesaving aid,” Falconer said on X.
Appalling reports of deaths near an aid delivery centre in Rafah highlight the desperate need to get aid in.

Not even calling for an independent investigation, not even asking for answers from the IDF. Just an unfortunate incident. Mysterious deaths near an aid delivery center.
