The IDF was not responsible for the death of a Palestinian aid worker contracted to the UN and the wounding of two others on Thursday, the IDF Spokesman said Saturday.
"An IDF investigation has found that it was not the army who fired on a UN truck at the Erez crossing," the IDF Spokesman's Office said. The IDF is not sure who fired on the truck, and is still investigating.
"The army further wishes to point out that the Palestinian wounded were evacuated by the Red Cross to the Israeli border, where they were taken by Israeli medical personnel for treatment at Ashkelon's Barzilai Hospital," the IDF told The Jerusalem Post.
The incident occurred Thursday afternoon at the Erez crossing into northern Gaza, the main entrance used by aid agencies to funnel badly needed food and medical supplies into the Strip.

The version of events that claimed the IDF had attacked the aid convoy was widely disseminated in the global media, and it was only on Friday afternoon that the IDF posited a different theory.
On Friday, the Post reported that contrary to foreign press reports, it was not certain that an IDF tank shell hit the aid truck, and that in all probability, the aid workers were hit by Hamas gunfire.
IMAGINE THAT: TERRORISTS SHOOTING AT AID WORKERS!?!?
REMINDER: ISLAMO-THUGS MURDERED THE UN'S #2 IN BAGHDAD (AND 16 OTHERS) RIGHT AFTER THE WAR, BUT THE PINKO-ANTISEMITIC SCUM AT THE UN HATE ISRAEL AND THE USA SO SO SO SO MUCH THAT THEY STILL STICK UP FOR THE JIHADISTS WHOM THEY SEE AS THEIR COMRADES AND FELLOW "ANTI-COLONIALISTS".
