The Israeli Armed Forces stated that they did not fire at the humanitarian convoy in Gaza on February 29. At the same time, dozens of people moved within a few meters of nearby IDF troops and thereby “posed a credible threat to the forces at that location” The armed forces opened warning fire and also began shooting at the suspects to “eliminate the threat,” the press service notes.

Morocco previously demanded an investigation into the incident in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian civilians awaiting humanitarian aid were killed in an "attack by Israeli forces"
