Israeli troops fire warning shots in Gaza

MUWASI, Gaza Strip (AP) — Chaos has erupted on the second day of aid operations by a new U.S.-backed group in Gaza. Palestinians overwhelmed a center distributing food on Tuesday, breaking through fences. Nearby Israeli troops fired warning shots, sending people fleeing in panic. The Israeli military later said the situation had been brought under control. At least three injured Palestinians were seen being brought from the scene. The distribution hub outside Rafah had been opened the day before by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been slated by Israel to take over aid operations despite opposition from the U.N. and other humanitarian organizations.
