An Israeli military investigation is underway into potential war crimes. Evidence suggests Israeli troops deliberately fired upon Palestinian civilians seeking aid in Gaza, resulting in numerous deaths. Haaretz reported soldiers were ordered to fire on crowds near food distribution sites. The IDF denies these accusations, while the Israeli government calls the reports malicious falsehoods. The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, deemed the US-backed aid operation "inherently unsafe," stating that people are dying while seeking food. The conflict's overall death toll in Gaza has reached 56,331.
