The &#8220;Gaza Humanitarian Foundation&#8221; also acknowledged that Israeli forces were operating nearby at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1700\">CNN verified videos showing that the massacre took place about 800 meters from the heavily militarized aid distribution center in Tel al-Sultan, near a traffic roundabout where hundreds had gathered.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18239\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18239 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/53.jpg\" alt=\"Israel Rafah airstrike\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/53.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/53-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/53-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gaza aid massacre<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1700\">The report highlights that the road leading to the aid site\u2014Al-Rashid Street\u2014is under Israeli military control, with troops stationed at a nearby base. Weapons experts told CNN that the rate of gunfire heard in the footage and bullet types found in the victims matched Israeli tank-mounted machine guns. Multiple witnesses also confirmed seeing gunfire coming from nearby Israeli tanks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2333\">While no single video confirmed the exact shooter, audio analysis and eyewitness accounts strongly indicate that Israeli forces triggered the chaos and violence, turning a humanitarian gathering into a massacre.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"2340\" data-end=\"2403\">Chaos at Aid Sites, Displacement, and Growing Criticism<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2405\" data-end=\"2742\">The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation began operations about ten days prior, but its aid distributions have been plagued by chaos, with several reports of fatal Israeli fire near its centers. The Israeli army confirmed the temporary closure of these sites, warning people to avoid the &#8220;combat zones&#8221; around distribution roads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2744\" data-end=\"3097\">Eyewitnesses told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the massacre took place between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m. near Al-Alam Roundabout on the Gaza shore, as civilians awaited food parcels. When early arrivals tried to flee back to the beach to escape tank fire, Israeli navy boats opened fire from the sea, targeting those who had taken refuge on the shoreline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18219\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18219 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6665.jpg\" alt=\"At least 42 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes across several areas of the Gaza Strip since early Sunday morning, according to medical sources.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6665.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6665-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6665-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palestinian civilians killed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"3099\" data-end=\"3423\">Inside the distribution center itself, people were shocked to find only four aid trucks, woefully inadequate for the large crowd.
