Israeli troops “fired precisely” at Palestinians rushing to get aid in an incident that left 115 people dead, according to the country’s military.
The Israeli military said that a review found that the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) aimed at those who “posed a threat”.
“The command review found that IDF troops did not fire at the humanitarian convoy, but did fire at a number of suspects who approached the nearby forces and posed a threat to them,” it said of the incident.
Israeli troops opened fire late last month on a crowd of Palestinians trying to get aid from trucks in northern Gaza. More than 100 people were killed in the incident.
Israel said most of those were trampled or driven over by aid trucks in the chaos.
The Hamas-run health ministry said most of the deaths were due to gunshots.
