The IDF on Sunday said that it was unaware of injuries caused by military gunfire within the humanitarian distribution zone, after news of an alleged Israeli attack in the area killed at least 31, according to Palestinian and Hamas-affiliated media.
The IDF later said that the matter is being reviewed.
The attack was reportedly carried out near the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's (GHF) distribution center in Rafah in southern Gaza.
Following the incident, the GHF denied claims of casualties and injuries at the aid distribution sites. The GHF said in a statement on Sunday that "All aid was distributed today without incident. No injuries or fatalities."
"We have heard that these fake reports have been actively fomented by Hamas. They are untrue and fabricated," GHF noted.
The US-backed group said on Sunday that it had distributed over 4.7 million meals within six days.
"We’re scaling up as quickly as possible, but the truth is stark: for every truck we successfully bring into our network, other humanitarian groups are being looted before reaching those in need."
GHF says it will continue to grow operations, including in northern Gaza
GHF said that it distributed 16 truckloads of food in Tel Sultan, totaling 15,360 boxes, around 887,040 meals.
They noted that they will increase operations and build additional sites across Gaza, including in the northern Gaza Strip, in the weeks ahead.
On Thursday, the GHF opened its third food distribution center, located in central Gaza. Two other food centers previously opened near Rafah in deep southern Gaza, and one more is still due to open in Khan Yunis in mid-southern Gaza.
henmazzig: They said Israel massacred 31 people.
Turns out—it never happened.
CCTV proves it. Statements from American forces, the IDF and investigations confirms: Aid was delivered peacefully. Even Netanyahu’s opponent says it’s fake.
So why the headlines?
Because Hamas is losing control—and lying louder.
Watch. Share. Stay smart.
EDIT: New video footage shows Hamas gunmen shooting Palestinian civilians by the humanitarian aid distribution point makes this story even more obvious.
