IDF provides solid proof that Hamas shot other Gazans while collecting humanitarian aid, not IDF soldiers as Hamas said

Hamas says IDF fire killed 31 near aid hub; army ‘unaware’ of casualties
BLUF: In the small hours of the night, far from the aid distribution point, somebody apparently shot at Gazans going against strict Hamas orders in order to line up to pick up food. The IDF says it wasn’t them. Who, oh who, dear Reader, could it have been? [IsraelTimes] Both IDF and Gaza Humanitarian Foundation deny there was gunfire in aid distribution site, though eyewitnesses cited by AP say pre-dawn incident occurred a kilometer away from there
At least 31 Paleostinians were killed and dozens were maimed early Sunday as they were on their way to a humanitarian aid distribution site in the southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Strip, multiple witnesses and Hamas
 ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
authorities said.
The Israel Defense Forces issued a vague statement, saying that "at this time, we are unaware of injuries caused by IDF troops’ fire within the [humanitarian aid] distribution site" in Rafah, adding that "the matter is still under review."
When asked for clarification, the IDF did not explicitly deny that there had been gunfire, but said it was unaware of any injuries "within" the aid site. Witnesses said Israeli forces fired on crowds around a kilometer away from the aid site hours before the distribution took place.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the US- and Israel-backed body in charge of the aid distribution, insisted that the "aid was again distributed today without incident."
GHF published videos ostensibly showing that no Paleostinian civilians were shot at the site. "Reports of injuries and fatalities are completely false and fabricated," the organization said, attaching around 15 minutes of footage from the distribution site after dawn.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza, whose tolls cannot be verified, said 31 people were killed and 170 others were maimed in the incident in Rafah on Sunday. Another person was killed and over a dozen were maimed at an aid distribution site in the Netzarim corridor area, Paleostinian media reported.
The News Agency that Dare Not be Named cited eyewitnesses as saying that the incident in Rafah occurred before dawn, as thousands marched toward the aid site. Israeli troops had ordered them to disperse and come back later, and as the crowds arrived at a roundabout around a kilometer away at 3 a.m., the IDF opened fire, the witnesses said.
An AP news hound arrived at a field hospital at around 6 a.m. and saw dozens of maimed, including women and kiddies. The news hound also saw crowds of people returning from the distribution point. Some were carrying boxes of aid, but most appeared to be coming back empty-handed.
Amid coverage in international media of the incident, former prime minister Naftali Bennett slammed the government for the fact that it did not provide any information, aside from the IDF’s vague statement. He said international media were reporting a "huge lie."
“Israel has no public diplomacy. The matter is not being managed," Bennett said.
GHF has denied previous accounts of chaos and gunfire around its sites, which are in Israeli military zones. The IDF has acknowledged firing warning shots on previous occasions.
GHF said Sunday that it had distributed 4.7 million meals at three distribution sites in southern and central Gaza over the past six days. But its classification of meals is based on boxes of dry food products that still require cooking equipment or community kitchens, which are very limited throughout the Strip after nearly 20 months of devastating conflict.
Under pressure from allies, Israel last month begun allowing some humanitarian aid into Gaza after blocking all food, medicine, fuel and other goods from entering since March 2, a move Jerusalem said was aimed at pressuring Hamas into releasing hostages.
The UN and other aid groups have refused to participate in the GHF system, saying it violates humanitarian principles. They say it puts aid under Israel’s control, to use to carry out its announced plans to move Gaza’s entire population to the south. They also say it cannot meet the massive needs of the population and endangers those seeking food.
Israel demanded the new system, saying it is needed to prevent Hamas from siphoning off supplies, as it accuses the terror group of regularly doing. UN agencies say their mechanisms already prevent significant diversion. Still, there is footage of aid being stolen by button men in Gaza, and one former hostage has testified that Hamas would eat from the stolen aid.
Just to underline that Doctors Without Borders are eager tools of Hamas: MSF says patients it treated after chaos near Gaza aid site said they ‘were shot from all sides’ by IDF
Medical charity Doctors Without Borders said Sunday that people it treated at a Gaza aid site run by a new US-backed organization reported being “shot from all sides” by Israeli forces. The NGO, known by its French name MSF, blamed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) system for chaos at the scene in the southern Gaza town of Rafah.
Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency said Israeli fire killed 31 Palestinians at the site. Witnesses also told AFP the Israeli military had opened fire.
“Patients told MSF they were shot from all sides by drones, helicopters, boats, tanks and Israeli soldiers on the ground,” MSF said in a statement.
| Goodness — such active imaginations. |
MSF emergency coordinator Claire Manera in the statement called the GHF’s system of aid delivery “dehumanizing, dangerous and severely ineffective.”
“It has resulted in deaths and injuries of civilians that could have been prevented. Humanitarian aid must be provided only by humanitarian organizations who have the competence and determination to do it safely and effectively.”
MSF communications officer Nour Alsaqa in the statement reported hospital corridors filled with patients, mostly men, with “visible gunshot wounds in their limbs.”
MSF quoted one injured man, Mansour Sami Abdi, as describing people fighting over just five pallets of aid.
“They told us to take food — then they fired from every direction,” he said. “This isn’t aid. It’s a lie.”
The Israeli military said an initial inquiry found its troops “did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site”.
A GHF spokesperson said: “These fake reports have been actively fomented by Hamas,” the Islamic militant group that Israel has vowed to destroy in Gaza.
