CNN investigation, with accounts from multiple eyewitnesses and expert forensic analysis of video footage of the incident, seeks to challenge Israeli military's claims that more than 110 killings resulted from stampede rather than direct gunfire.A still image from a video released by the Israeli army on 29 February 2024 shows people waiting for aid delivery.
On the night of February 29, a humanitarian aid delivery in besieged Gaza turned tragic when Israeli soldiers opened fire on a crowd of Palestinians gathered to receive food supplies at Al Rashid Street, the main north-south route designated by the Israeli military for humanitarian aid. More than 112 civilians were killed and 760 wounded in the incident, sparking global condemnations with the Palestinian envoy to the UN saying dozens of the victims were"shot in the head.
Adding to the scrutiny, the Israeli military's internal investigation results and the subsequent timeline released were found to be inconsistent with the video evidence gathered by CNN. Eyewitness accounts further dismantled the Israeli official's version. Many survivors recounted harrowing moments of gunfire targeting individuals desperately trying to obtain food.
