Eyewitnesses say crowds came under fire en route to distribution center that was about to open; military reports troops when suspects approached them and ignored warnings

Palestinian witnesses said Israeli forces had fired on them at a roundabout in the nearby city of Rafah as they went to get food from a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The Israeli military said it fired warning shots at people it said were suspects who had advanced toward its forces and ignored warnings to turn away.
