Tanks, quadcopter drones, and helicopters opened fire on civilians close to the al-Alam roundabout, approximately 1 km (0.6 miles) from the aid station, according to Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for Gaza’s Hamas-run Civil Defense service.
After recognizing suspects who approached them “deviating from the designated access routes,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that their soldiers opened fire.
In a similar event on Sunday, Israel denied firing Palestinians, claiming that 31 people were killed and almost 200 were injured, according to the health ministry operated by Hamas.
NGOs, health experts, and scores of civilian witnesses all strongly disagreed with its denial.
The director of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said after the incident on Tuesday morning.
