The Gaza Health \u2064Ministry, controlled\u2062 by the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist group, alleged that over 100 people were\u200d killed\u200c and 700 injured in \u200dwhat they portrayed as an unprovoked act of aggression by Israel.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is no\u200b confirmation of the numbers provided by Hamas, and the terror group has\u2062 a history of deception throughout the ongoing\u2062 war. The conflict was sparked by Hamas&#8217; unprecedented terrorist attack\u2062 on October \u200b7,\u200d which led to Israel declaring a \u2062state \u2062of war.<\/p>\n<p>Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, IDF\u200d Spokesperson, stated that the incident \u2062on\u200d Thursday occurred during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/protests-largely-peaceful-in-minneapolis-after-secondary-fence-erects-outside-brooklyn-center-police-department\/\" title=\"Protests Largely Peaceful In Minneapolis After Secondary Fence Erects Outside Brooklyn Center Police Department\">fourth consecutive night<\/a> of Israel \u2062delivering\u2064 aid\u200c directly to the people of Gaza. \u200cThe IDF&#8217;s initial review revealed that they did\u2064 not strike the aid convoy, and the majority of casualties were a\u2064 result of a stampede.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF released \u200bdrone footage showing thousands of Palestinians\u2064 rushing towards\u200d the\u2064 trucks to obtain \u2063supplies. Israel&#8217;s \u200dreview indicated\u200d that \u200bwarning \u2062shots\u200c were fired in an attempt\u2064 to disperse the stampede. Throughout history, stampedes have proven to be deadly, causing the \u200bdeaths of\u2064 hundreds or even thousands of people.<\/p>\n<p>Hagari emphasized that Israel&#8217;s war is solely against Hamas, \u2064not the people of Gaza.
