> An investigation by Haaretz revealed that IOF soldiers deployed around Gaza’s aid distribution sites have been ordered to shoot at unarmed Palestinians gathering for food, even when there’s “no threat.”
One soldier described the area as “a killing field,” stating, “They’re treated like a hostile force, no crowd-control measures, no tear gas, just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars.”
Since late May, at least 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 wounded near aid centers. Soldiers admit they fire live rounds “to drive people away,” sometimes before aid distribution begins, sometimes after it ends.
“There’s no enemy, no weapons,” another occupation soldier said. “We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line… sometimes we just charge at them from close range.”
