The Gaza Health Ministry dubbed the incident as a massacre where 112 people were killed by Israeli gunfire,[2][11] while Israeli officials said that most of the casualties were from a stampede ensuing from warning shots fired by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) when a mob endangered them in two related incidents.[18][19][20] Other Israeli officials stated that they did in fact shoot some of the victims, although added that they believed that they were responsible for fewer than ten of the casualties.[21]

Palestine says that Israelis killed Palestinians, while Israel says it killed some Palestinians while directly causing the conditions for the rest to be killed. Who could say who is right.
