Israel has denied carrying out strikes against a convoy of trucks to provide humanitarian assistance to the residents of northern Gaza on Thursday, saying its forces were there to secure the humanitarian corridor when a mob ambushed and looted the aid trucks.
In a video address released on Thursday night, the spokesperson of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Daniel Hagari said Israeli forces tried to disperse the swelling mob with a few warning shots but eventually decided to cautiously retreat tanks "when the hundreds became thousands and things got out of hand."
"No IDF strike was conducted toward the aid convoy," Hagari repeated. "As a result of the pushing, trampling and being run over by the trucks, dozens of Gazans were killed and injured," the IDF said.
The denial came after Palestine blamed Israel for killing over 100 people as they waited for aid in northern Gaza.
