Israeli Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said that Israeli tanks fired a warning shot to disperse the crowd that had gathered around the humanitarian convoy after seeing people in the crowd being trampled.
Khadir Al Zaanoun, a local journalist in the Gaza Strip who was on the scene and witnessed the incident, said that chaos and confusion began only after Israeli forces opened fire, and that most of the victims were accidentally hit by humanitarian aid trucks trying to leave quickly.

As UNN previously reported , Israel may postpone the planned military operation in Rafah if it reaches an agreement with Hamas on the release of hostages, but says the operation will take place anyway.
