Claim graphic video is linked to aid distribution site in Gaza is incorrect published at 18:50 2 June 18:50 2 June Benedict Garman & Sebastian Vandermeesh BBC Verify As part of our investigation into the reported shootings yesterday morning near an aid distribution site in Rafah, southern Gaza, we've reviewed a graphic video - which has been seen 134,000 times in one X post alone - which some claim shows the incident. In the footage, showing the apparent immediate aftermath of a strike, dust clouds are visible as well as bodies lying on the ground - some motionless and bloodied. It was posted with a caption by an Al Jazeera journalist stating: "New footage reveals the horrific massacre committed by Israeli forces near a US aid distribution site in southern Gaza." We have geolocated the clip to a spot in Khan Younis about 4.5km (2.8 miles) from the nearest aid distribution point. The direction of shadows suggests it was filmed in the evening, not the morning, which doesn't match accounts of the Rafah shootings. While verifying the clip, a local journalist who filmed another video of the same scene confirmed to us that the events pictured are unrelated to any aid distribution site, and occurred yesterday evening after 19:00 local time (16:00 GMT). The circumstances of this strike are unclear. The Israel Defense Forces has been approached for comment.
