MatthewYou know you're quoting Hamas's numbers, right? Can we not do this again? Hamas isn't any more of a reliable source now than they were during that woopsie doodle incident where they claimed the IDF bombed a hospital and killed 500 people when actually it was a misfiring Hamas rocket. https://www.timesofisrael.com/dozens-of-gazans-said-killed-in-stampede-for-aid-idf-opens-fire-blamed-for-deaths/
@acarson I really don’t think this is just about the numbers. The IDF confirms dozens were killed and more than one hundred injured. More importantly: “The IDF later said that there were two separate incidents that led to massive loss of life: one in which aid trucks reportedly ran over civilians crowding the convoy during a “stampede,” and another where a group of Palestinians approached an Israeli position nearby and failed to disperse after IDF members fired warning shots, with only a handful of casualties as a result of ammunition.
That update contradicts eyewitness reports that said the IDF fired on the crowd surrounding the aid trucks.”

It’s serious enough that the US is conducting its own investigation to establish the facts because they clearly don’t trust the IDF have provided the full story.
