The Israeli military's initial review of last week's incident with an aid convoy in Gaza indicates that the convoy was not attacked, but rather the majority of Palestinians as a result of the incident. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stressed that the Israeli army has launched an in-depth investigation into the matter and will conduct further assessment by an independent and professional expert body. He called on the outside world to be patient and the results of the investigation will be announced in the coming days.
Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the chaos in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, putting Israel under unprecedented pressure. When the convoy of rescue trucks was surrounded by a crowd, the soldiers opened fire. Health authorities in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip have accused the Israeli army of killing more than 100 civilians trying to approach the aid convoy, calling it a big deal. However, Major General Hagari insisted that the Israeli army did not attack the aid convoy, but that in the process of dispersing the first pieces, several looters approached the Israeli troops and posed a direct threat, and the soldiers were forced to respond.
The most distressing situation in this humanitarian crisis has also aroused widespread concern from the international community. Many Palestinians killed or injured around aid convoys were attacked by Israeli army fire, the European Union said, urging the international community to investigate. The report states that the root causes of the crisis lie "in the restrictions imposed by the Israeli army and in the obstruction of humanitarian assistance by violent extremists".
The Israeli side has categorically denied this and stressed that they are investigating allegations that soldiers shot at civilians around food trucks. Major General Hajari said Israel had organized the humanitarian convoy and insisted that the allegations that they had deliberately attacked the convoy and deliberately harmed people were baseless.
In this humanitarian crisis, innocent civilians have been the biggest victims. Ahmed Abdul Karim, who is undergoing a gunshot wound to the foot, described the chaos of crowds scrambling for aid and revealed that he was also shot dead by Israeli forces. The number of Palestinians killed in the war has climbed to a staggering 30,320, with women and children accounting for about two-thirds, according to Gaza's health ministry.
The United States has provided assistance to the Gaza Strip in response to international concern, and the United Nations has warned that 550,000 people in the area are on the verge of famine. Despite reports that more than 100 people have been shot dead by Israeli soldiers while trying to get food from aid convoys, aid organizations and Gaza residents have called on the Israeli military to establish a better aid delivery system and focus on delivering aid by land.
Three U.S. planes airdropped about 38,000 meals in Gaza, but local residents say such airdrops are not enough for one family. They called on Egypt to open the crossings to allow aid trucks to enter the Gaza Strip normally.
**10,000 Fans Incentive Program Thanks to the efforts of international mediators, the ceasefire has rekindled hope. For weeks, they have been trying to broker an agreement to suspend fighting before the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, around March 10. With Egyptian ceasefire talks set to resume on Sunday, a senior U.S. leader revealed that Israel has agreed to a six-week ceasefire agreement framework, but it depends on whether Hamas agrees to release the hostages. However, he also stressed that at the moment there is still no desire to create expectations in some way so as not to put unnecessary pressure on the negotiations.
