"The IDF is aware of reports regarding a number of injured individuals from IDF fire following the crowd's approach," the IDF said.

Palestinians are reported to have been killed and wounded in another shooting as they gathered near an aid distribution site in central Gaza. According to Palestinian journalists, those killed were fired on by Israeli troops. Information on Saturday's incident is scarce as the internet has been down in Gaza for more than two days.

The Israel Defense Forces said a crowd gathered near an aid truck “in proximity to IDF troops” and that it “regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals.”
