About an hour before the entry of the aid convoy, Palestinian gunmen were seen opening fire on a crowd of Gazan civilians in Kuwait Square.
"The IDF is continuing to examine the incident," the IDF said in a statement, adding that it is "making strenuous efforts to bring humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip while Hamas terrorists are harming the residents of Gaza and spreading lies to blame the State of Israel."
Earlier on Friday, the IDF denied allegations by Hamas that Israeli forces had fired on civilians awaiting aid in Gaza City, saying that soldiers had not used their weapons at any stage of the incident and pointed to Palestinian gunmen as the cause of the casualties.
Meanwhile, also on Friday, several launches were identified from Lebanon toward the areas of Shtula, Har Dov, and Zar’it in northern Israel.
IDF fighter jets struck a Hezbollah military site in the area of Houla, as well as an observation post belonging to the terrorist organization in the area of Marwahin. Furthermore, IDF artillery struck in the area of Wadi Hamoul to remove an imminent threat.
