The military wing of Israel admits having fired on the site of the distribution of Gaza Aid
On a post X, IDF admits their forces operating overnight in Rafah.
They claim to have spotted several people approaching them outside the designated routes and that they have drawn warning plans to dissuade people who approach them.

The United Nations and international aid organizations have made an alarm about the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the population of more than two million faces acute food shortages and famine conditions after months of restricted access to aid.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which opened its first aid distribution sites last week, is supported by the United States and operates with Israeli coordination.
However, its operations have been criticized by the UN and other humanitarian groups to bypass traditional aid channels and work outside of internationally accepted humanitarian principles.
Reuters states that the Foundation claims that it distributes 21 food for food trucks on Tuesday and that the help operation was “carried out safely and without incident on the site”.
