IDF forces fired warning shots at suspects moving in the Wadi Gaza area who posed a threat to the soldiers, IDF spokesperson reported, adding that the suspects were in the area despite warnings that it was an active combat zone. The military added that they are aware of claims about casualties from the shooting in the area, and preliminary investigation shows that the reported numbers do not align with the information available to the IDF. It was further reported that the details are under investigation, and that the warning shots were fired hundreds of meters away from the distribution site - before it opened.
