As the trucks neared Gaza City at around 4:45 a.m., thousands of people surrounded the vehicles in an attempt to seize supplies, leading to a stampede in which dozens were injured and killed, the official said. Some were run over by aid trucks as the drivers sought to extricate themselves, said the official, who briefed reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss a matter under investigation.
The official said that several hundred yards south — at the tail end of the convoy — dozens of civilians who had rushed trucks in the area then approached Israeli troops and a tank securing the road, prompting them to open fire. He did not elaborate on whether any people were killed or injured in the shooting and declined to provide a precise timeline.
That’s misleading as fuck.
