A former US contractor, Anthony Aguilar, accused Israeli soldiers and US contractors of war crimes in Gaza, citing indiscriminate force against civilians at aid sites. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which fired Aguilar for inappropriate behavior, denies his claims, alleging fabricated evidence and threats. Amidst a humanitarian crisis and rising death tolls near GHF aid sites, both Israel and the GHF blame Hamas for the violence, while the IDF admits to Palestinian deaths from warning shots. The situation remains highly contentious, with conflicting accounts and unverified casualty figures.
