AP reported The contractors have claimed “their colleagues regularly threw stun grenades and pepper spray towards the Palestinian people” and “bullets were fired in all directions -in the air, to the ground and sometimes to Palestine, considering at least one example in which he thought someone had been beaten”.
Contractor: ‘Innocent people are hurt’
“There are innocent people who are injured. Bad. No need,” the contractor told AP.
The video reported was provided by one of the contractor assistance sites, located in the Zone controlled by the Israeli military, with hundreds of Palestinians crammed with metal gates, scrambling to achieve assistance.
In the background, shots can be heard, and stun grenades are allegedly fired into the crowd.

The recording does not show who is shooting or what is being taken, but another video shows a contractor in a complex, when a shot bursts can be heard. A man then heard shouting in the celebration: “Whoo! Whoo!”.

GHF attacks ‘fake claims’
GHF strongly denied the accusation, added that they had investigated the AP accusation.
In a statement about X, GHF wrote: “Based on the video footage given by the witness’s time and statement, we have concluded that the claims in the AP story categorize are wrong. There is no civilian point criticized at the GHF distribution location.
“The shot that was heard in the video confirmed came from IDF, which was outside around the GHF distribution site.
“It was not directed at the individual, and nothing was shot or injured. The most unsettling was that AP refused to share a complete video with us before publication, despite the seriousness of the accusation.”

Safe Reach Solutions, a logistics company subcontracted by GHF, told the AP that there was no serious injury to one of their sites until now.
But the organization acknowledged that, in an isolated incident, security professionals fired a direct round to the ground and far from civilians to get their attention.
A Safe Reach Solutions spokesman told the AP this occurred at the beginning of their operation at “the peak despair where the steps to control the crowd were needed for the safety and safety of civilians”.
