The incident occurred when civilians were going to receive humanitarian aid.
This Thursday, More than one hundred Palestinians were killed and 760 injured following the attack he carried out Israel before a group of people waiting receive humanitarian aid in Gazadenounced the Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip.
The attack occurred on the street Al Rashidsoutheast of the city, and according to the Israeli Army, the decision to attack was due to the fact that, according to them, There was a crowd that posed “a threat” during the food distribution.
“The attack was premeditated and intentional, in the context of the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the people of the Gaza Strip. The occupation Army knew that these victims had come to this area to obtain food and help, but it killed them in cold blood,” Palestinian authorities denounced.
Hours after this Israeli attack on Gaza, the spokesman for the Israel Defense Forcesthe oldest Ronnie Kaplanjustified the fact.
“This was at 4:00 a.m. We enter with humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, through the Kerem Shalom crossingwith the aim of helping those who need it most in a war that Hamas imposed,” he said in a video released.
Following that, he explained that “we entered with 30 trucks that brought water, food, medical supplies, blankets, blankets and all types of humanitarian aid for the civilian population and Apparently three different events happened there.“.
As Kaplan explained, the first of them was that a stampede of people rushed the trucksso “many people were run over” and clarified that “the Israeli defense forces were not involved here.”
“Some of the 30 trucks managed to reach the humanitarian aid warehouses in the Gaza Strip, and armed Gazans, probably from Hamas, they shot at the trucks and the people. People also died there, in a second event in which the Israeli defense forces were not involved either,” he added.
The third occurred when the trucks were crossing the border into Gaza, at which time a “large number” of people rushed to the last of them.
“Our soldiers are on the side practically ensuring that passage for the civilian population in Gaza, they are already more than 265 thousand tons that Israel allows for the civilian populationand that is where these people approach our soldiers in the middle of the darkness, they threaten them,” the spokesperson said.
For the same reason, he added, “the soldiers felt threatened. First they shot into the air and then, when they felt threatened, they shot at the legs first. It is an event that we are investigating.”
“Right now, what we know from the three events that occurred overnight in Gaza is that in one of them there were Israeli shots when the soldiers felt threatened. I repeat, it was within the framework of the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip,” he highlighted.
Along with that, he wanted to emphasize that “this is a war against the terrorist group Hamas“It is not a war against the people in Gaza, under any circumstances.”
“We are going to do everything within our means to draw the lessons learned from this unfortunate incident with the aim of constantly continuing to deliver humanitarian aid to the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, humanitarian aid that is often stolen by Hamas,” said.
