An Israeli security source said that a Gazan crowd entered a sterile area at the aid center against regulations, adding that "the Americans backed away and fired in the air to gain control - no goods were looted." In contrast, sources from the American company stated that "toward the end of the day about 100 Gazans invaded the distribution center. This scenario was anticipated and rehearsed by American forces. The force allowed the crowd to take the remaining daily supplies from the center to prevent casualties. During the incident, warning shots were fired in the air. Distribution will resume tomorrow."
