According to Palestinians, although unverified, it was Israeli forces who opened fire, shooting toward residents while they waited for aid on Al-Rashid Street. The IDF stated that the incident was not familiar to them.
Meanwhile, and not for the first time, reports in the Gaza Strip have surfaced regarding messages allegedly sent to residents - seemingly from the IDF - requesting tips on the whereabouts of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The messages promise a high cash reward for any individual providing relevant information.
In recent weeks, IDF Arabic Spokesman Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee has released various videos showing protests against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, where residents call for the overthrow of the organization and even name senior members. For example, in a video published recently, Gazans are heard saying, "Sinwar and Haniyeh, you are the ones to blame," and also "Go away, Sinwar."
