IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari on Gaza City aid stampede
“At 4:45 am, a mob ambushed the aid trucks bringing the convey to a halt…the tanks that were there cautiously tried to disperse the mob with a few warning shots. When hundreds became thousands, the tank commander decided to retreat“
“No IDF strike was conducted toward the aid convey. Let me repeat. No IDF strike was conducted toward the aid convey. On the contrary, the IDF was there conducting a humanitarian operation to allow the aid convey to reach the designated distribution point.”
“We recognize the suffering of the innocent people of Gaza. This is why we are seeking ways to expand our humanitarian efforts.”
