An Israeli military official told NBC News that Israeli soldiers fired warning shots “toward several suspects" about a half-mile from an aid distribution center that was the site of a deadly attack in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.

The official said the "suspects" were advancing "toward troops in an overnight incident," and that there was no connection between this and “false claims” that the Israeli military killed and injured Palestinians receiving aid early Sunday.

It is one of several accounts that followed the deadly attack in or near an aid distribution point in the Gaza Strip.
