The Israeli army has stated that it is investigating the “loss” of the “loss” to “damage” to citizens while going to the aid distribution centers in the US -run Gaza and the “loss” of the Israeli -backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Since the GHF operation began in late May, after the three-month Israeli blockade on Gaza, people seeking assistance on these sites have received almost daily reports from Medics, Eyewitness and Hamas-Interested Health Ministry for people who killed Israel.
The United Nations says that more than 400 Palestinians have been killed while seeking assistance.
The Israeli army said on Monday that instructions were issued to the forces after “learned lessons”, but did not specify what these lessons were.
The IDF has stated on several occasions that it has described as “warning shots” on “suspects” reaching its soldiers.
Several Israeli media outlets, including the Times of Israel, said on Monday that the IDF had admitted that some Palestinians were killed while seeking assistance, but the IDF said Hamas’s casualties were wrong.
Israeli media reported that the army had admitted that in some cases “wrong” fire by Israeli forces gave rise to casualties and some deaths.
The BBC put these points in the IDF, stating that the “reports of losses” were being “investigated” and “any allegation of deviation from law or IDF instructions would be thoroughly investigated and further action would be taken.”
It said that there was no other comment about the claims made in Israel media on Monday.
However, it deliberately denied any allegations of fire on the citizens, such as the Israeli newspaper on Friday was raised in a report by Heretz.
The report quoted the anonymous IDF soldiers as saying that they were ordered to shoot unarmed citizens near the help distribution sites to take them away or remove them.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strongly rejected the report, calling the allegations “malicious lies”.
The GHF aid system is condemned by United Nations agencies, and on Friday, United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres brands it “naturally unsafe”. It aims to bypass the United Nations as the main supplier of the Palestinians. Israel and the United States said the system would prevent the theft aid by Hamas, which the group refuses to do.
Within the days of GHF operations starting in late May, dozens of Palestinians were killed in separate incidents on 1 and 3 June, leading to international condemnation.
GHF boss Johnny Moore on Friday Told BBC He was not denying reports of deaths near the assistance places, but said “100% of those casualties were being held responsible for proximity to GHF” and it was “not true”.
Israel does not allow international news organizations including BBC to send journalists to Gaza.
In its statement on Monday, the IDF stated that it was restructuring access to sites and would include new “fencing” and signaposting including directional and warning signals. Its purpose was “improving operating reaction in the region, reducing friction with the population and ensuring that the aid reaches its intended recipients”, to ensure.
It also said that it had decided to close a support distribution center in the oil al-Sittan region near Rafa in Southern Gaza to install a new nearby nearby.
Last week, the US State Department announced a $ 30M (£ 22m) in funding for GHF, which is its first known direct contribution to the group.
Israel partially reduced Gaza’s three -month blockade and after the pressure of American colleagues and warnings by global experts that half a million people were facing starvation.
The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, killing around 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage.
According to the health ministry of the region, more than 56,500 people have been killed in Gaza since then.
