A screengrab taken from the verified video shows sand being kicked up by the bullets
We've verified footage that has been circulating on social media showing shots being fired near crowds of people waiting for aid in southern Gaza. Having received the footage and from speaking to two journalists in Gaza we understand the incident took place on Saturday 12 July. We've also seen a post from an eyewitness, external on Instagram.
Based on the pylons seen in the footage and having looked at previous clips around aid distribution centres we could confirm the video was filmed close to one of the safe routes into aid hub run by the Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
Using other forensic techniques - which we'll explain in another live page post - we can place this incident near the GHF's Secure Distribution Site 2.
In the video you can see clouds of sand being kicked up by the impact of the bullets being fired. There have been reports of some killings on Saturday, but it is not clear if any of these were a result of the shots captured in the video.
Nasser hospital in southern Gaza confirmed 24 people were killed near an aid distribution site. The GHF has denied that the incident took place near their site.

Why is Israel bombing Syria and who are the Druze?
No sooner does one war stop in the Middle East than another starts. Israel appeared to open a new front on Wednesday, turning on the new Syrian regime and striking the ministry of defence building in Damascus. Israeli fighter jets bombed Syrian government forces in the south, where sectarian violence has erupted between the Druze minority and Bedouin tribes. So far, more than 300 people have been killed in the clashes since Sunday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Why is Israel attacking Syria? Israel claims it acted to protect the Druze, a minority religious group with long-established ties to Israel. The Druze, who have long clashed with Bedouin minorities, became enraged last week when a Druze teenager was robbed on the road to Damascus. The Druze took several Bedouin hostage in revenge and fighting between the two communities broke out in the town of Suwayda near the Israeli border, leaving more than 100 dead. The new Syrian regime sent in troops, supposedly to keep the peace, but some of those forces killed Druze civilians in the process and humiliated others by shaving their moustaches. Israel responded by bombing Syrian positions and killing some of their soldiers and civilians. How many people have died so far in the fighting? More than 300 people have been killed since fighting broke out on Sunday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Some 69 Druze fighters were killed as well as 40 civilians, 27 of them in 'summary executions… by members of the defence and interior ministries', the war monitor said. In addition, 165 Syrian troops had been killed together with 18 Bedouin fighters. The Israeli strikes targeting the army and defence ministry headquarters in Damascus killed one person and wounded another 18, it added. Who are the Druze and why are some of them aligned with Israel? They are a distinct religious and Arab ethnic group from the Golan Heights in northern Israel and southern Syria. Their religion evolved as a form of Shia Islam but they do not count themselves as Muslims. Many of them fought with Israel against the Arab armies in the 1948 war which founded Israel. They remain over-represented in the ranks of the Israel Defence Forces today as soldiers. There are about 145,000 Druze living within Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and they comprise about 1.6 per cent of Israel's population. They also have large communities in Lebanon and Syria. How does Israel see al-Sharaa and the new Syrian regime? For the most part Israel sees Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, and his troops as terrorists. When the group moved to overthrow the Assad regime in Syria in 2024, Israel took the opportunity to bomb and destroy the vast bulk of the country's military assets including tanks, trucks, missiles and weapons. This has left al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda fighter-turned-statesman, struggling to exert policing control over large parts of the country. Immediately after al-Sharaa won power, Israel lobbied hard to keep them branded as terrorists but was caught by surprise by Donald Trump befriending the new leader and welcoming him to the international fold at the behest of both the Saudis and the Turks. Some believe Israel has been looking for an excuse to upset that apple cart ever since it got rolling on the US president's visit to the Gulf about two months ago. Why is Israel so worried about al-Sharaa and Syria? There are several reasons. Although the new regime is not a Shia Islamic faction and aligned with Israel, it does have an Islamist heritage and Israel has been plagued by Islamist terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah for decades now. It is also relevant that al-Sharaa's nom de guerre is Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the 'Julani' element of which has long been associated with the Golan Heights, the disputed area of southern Syria and northern Israel that Israel formerly annexed much of in 1981. There are populist fears in Israel that any former al-Qaeda fighter who comes from that region and carries the name is unlikely to leave it alone forever. The geo-politics of a renewed and powerful Syria may also not suit Israel from a military or political perspective. Israel has taken an aggressive stance toward Syria's new leaders since Assad's fall, saying it doesn't want Islamist militants near its borders. Israeli forces have seized a UN-patrolled buffer zone on Syrian territory along the border with the Golan Heights and launched hundreds of air strikes on military sites in Syria. The new regime there is closely alleged to Turkey, a fierce critic of Israel, and to Saudi Arabia which, along with the UAE and Qatar, have become major powers in the region. A successful Syria could be expected to align itself closely with these emerging blocks, providing economic opportunities for Israel but also real economic political competition. What's likely to happen next? Much will depend on Mr Trump and the US who are said to be angry about Israel opening a new front in Syria. The US, on which Israel is reliant for air defences and weapons, has the muscle to force an end to the fighting. But Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, like Putin, has proved himself adept at running rings around the US president who is said by John Bolton, his former national security adviser, only to remember what the last person who spoke to him said. If that is Mr Netanyahu, expect the bombing to last for some time.

Drone attacks on oil fields in Iraq's Kurdish region shut down facilities
Drones targeted oil fields in Iraq's semi-autonomous northern Kurdish region Wednesday, the latest in a series of attacks in recent days that have put several oil facilities out of commission. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which have exacerbated tensions between the central government in Baghdad and Kurdish authorities. The Kurdish region's anti-terrorism department said two drones attacked an oil field in the district of Zakho, causing damage but no injuries. DNO ASA, the Norwegian oil and gas company operating the field, said its operations were temporarily suspended following three explosions involving a small storage tank at Tawke and surface processing equipment at Peshkabir. It said there were no injuries, and a damage assessment was underway. Hours later, the anti-terrorism department said the Baadre oil field, located in the Sheikhan district of Dohuk province, was targeted by a drone strike. There were no injuries. Videos showed a plume of smoke rising over barren hills. The attacks came a day after another oil field in Dohuk province operated by a U.S. company was set ablaze, also after being struck by a drone. The Kurdish region's Ministry of Natural Resources said the attacks were meant "to disrupt the economy of the Kurdistan region and threaten the safety of civilian employees of the energy sector,' and called for federal authorities to intervene to stop them. Iraqi oil industry expert Hamza al-Jawahiri said the targeting of oil fields in the Kurdish region would not affect global oil prices and that oil production in southern Iraq is sufficient to compensate for any resulting shortage. The fields in northern Iraq produce around 500,000 barrels per day. Al-Jawahiri said the primary losers would be the companies operating the fields, which are working under partnership contracts. Earlier this month, the Kurdish regional government accused the Popular Mobilization Forces — a coalition of Iran-allied militias that are officially under the control of the Iraqi military — of carrying out drone attacks. The Iraqi army said the accusation was 'issued in the absence of evidence' and said it could 'provide hostile parties with justifications to undermine Iraq's stability.' Iran-backed armed groups have periodically attacked U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria. During last month's Israel-Iran war, some of them threatened to target U.S. interests and bases in the region if Washington got involved.

Syria: Israel strikes Damascus as fighting between government forces and Druze rages
The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry and government forces in southern Syria, as deadly sectarian fighting in the predominantly Druze province of Suweida continued for a fourth Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said its forces were "working to save our Druze brothers and to eliminate the regime's gangs". The Syrian foreign ministry condemned Israel's "treacherous aggression".The Syrian interior ministry and one Druze leader said a ceasefire had been agreed on Wednesday night. But another Druze leader rejected than 300 people are reported to have been killed in Suweida since Sunday, when clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes erupted. The Israeli military began striking Syrian security forces and their weapons on Monday, after they were deployed to the city of Suweida for the first time since Sunni Islamist-led rebels overthrew President Bashar al-Assad in groups including the Druze - whose religion is an offshoot of Shia Islam with its own unique identity and beliefs - are suspicious of interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and his government despite his pledges to protect fears have been heightened by several outbreaks of deadly sectarian violence over the past eight months, including one in May in which dozens of people were reportedly killed in clashes between Druze, security forces and allied Islamist fighters in Damascus and the wake of that fighting, the government reached an agreement with Druze militias to hire local security forces in Suweida province from their has said he is committed to preventing harm to the Druze in Syria because of their deep ties to those living in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz wrote on X on Wednesday afternoon that "the warnings in Damascus" had ended and that the Israeli military would "continue to operate vigorously in Suweida to destroy the forces that attacked the Druze until they withdraw completely".He later posted that "the painful blows have begun" above a video clip showing a TV presenter being forced to dive under a desk live on air as an Israeli missile hit the nearby entrance to the Syrian defence ministry in Umayyad Square, in central Israeli military said it struck the Syrian government's military headquarters in the capital as well as a "military target in the area" of the presidential also said strikes hit armoured vehicles loaded with heavy machine guns and weapons on their way to Suweida, as well as firing posts and weapons storage facilities in southern foreign ministry said the strikes targeted government institutions and civilian facilities in Damascus and Suweida and killed "several innocent civilians"."This flagrant assault, which forms part of a deliberate policy pursued by the Israeli entity to inflame tensions, spread chaos and undermine security and stability in Syria, constitutes a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and international humanitarian law," it Syrian interior ministry announced on Wednesday evening that it had reached a ceasefire agreement with Druze leaders "as part of efforts to restore security and stability". It said military operations would end immediately, police would set up checkpoints in Suweida city, and that the province would be "fully integrated" into the Syrian Druze leader, Sheikh Yousef Jarbou, confirmed the agreement. But another who supports Israel's intervention, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri, called for Druze fighters to continue fighting until the "total liberation of our province from gangs".US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was "very worried" about the violence in the south, and that he was talking to Israel and Syria to calm the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based monitoring group, meanwhile reported that the humanitarian situation in Suweida city had rapidly cited sources as saying there were clashes in several area of the city and that tanks had attacked the national hospital, causing panic among the scores of casualties from the fighting being treated there. They also said there were acute shortages of water and medical SOHR says more than 300 people have been killed since Sunday in Suweida include 69 Druze fighters and 40 civilians, 27 of whom were summarily killed by interior ministry and defence ministry forces, according to the group. At least 165 members of the government forces and 18 Bedouin tribal fighters have also been killed in the clashes, while 10 members of government forces have been killed in Israeli strikes, it BBC is not able to verify the SOHR's casualty figures. The fighting between Bedouin tribes and Druze militias in Suweida is said to have been sparked by the abduction of a Druze merchant on the highway to Damascus last Sunday, armed Druze fighters reportedly encircled and later seized a neighbourhood of Suweida city that is inhabited by Bedouin. The clashes soon spread into other parts of Suweida province, with tribesmen reportedly launching attacks on nearby Druze towns and interior ministry later announced that its forces and those of the defence ministry would intervene and impose order, saying the "dangerous escalation comes in light of the absence of relevant official institutions".There was a brief period of calm on Sunday night before the fighting resumed, with local activists reporting that Druze villages west of the city had been attacked with drones and mortars as government forces deployed afternoon, the Israeli military said it had stuck several Syrian government tanks in Suweida, saying it aimed to prevent forces advancing towards Suweida Tuesday morning, Druze spiritual leaders said they had agreed to allow government forces to enter Suweida province in order to end the bloodshed. But Sheikh Hajri urged Druze to resist, accusing the government of violating a ceasefire by bombarding Suweida fighting continued as government forces entered the city. The defence minister declared a ceasefire and said they would only open fire if attacked, but witnesses reported that they joined the Bedouin fighters in attacking Druze fighters and afternoon, Netanyahu and Katz ordered the Israeli military to once again attack government forces and weaponry in Suweida. They said they were working to prevent them from harming the Druze and to "ensure the demilitarisation" of areas near Israel's this year, Israel's prime minister demanded the complete demilitarisation of Suweida and two other southern provinces. He said Israel saw President Sharaa's Sunni Islamist group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), as a threat. HTS is a former al-Qaeda affiliate that is still designated as a terrorist organisation by the UN and UK, but no longer by the Israeli military has already carried out hundreds of strikes across Syria to destroy the country's military assets since the fall of the Assad it has sent troops into the UN-monitored demilitarised buffer zone between the occupied Golan Heights and Syria, as well as several adjoining areas and the summit of Mount Hermon.
