The Israeli army announced Tuesday evening that it has opened an "investigation" after confirmation by the Red Cross of the death of 27 Palestinians following fire near an aid distribution center in the southern Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday morning, Israeli soldiers "gave warning shots [...] towards suspects who were approaching in a way that endangered their safety," said Brigadier General Effie Defrin, spokesperson for the Israeli army. "The incident is under investigation, and we will shed full light" on what happened, he added, assuring that the army was not "blocking access for Gaza residents to the aid distribution points." "On the contrary, we allow it. It is Hamas that is preventing access," he assured.
