One Palestinian was killed and 30 others were injured by the strike, according to the Kuwaiti Field Hospital. The footage was initially falsely linked to killings near a controversial new aid distribution site in Rafah. But BBC Verify geolocated the footage to a location in Khan Younis - 4.5km (2.8 miles) away from the distribution site.

We used the position of the sun to ascertain that the footage was filmed in the evening, shortly before sunset. A local journalist who filmed footage of the scene also told BBC Verify that the incident occurred around 19:00 local time on Sunday - hours after the killings near the aid site. The IDF statement did not offer a figure for those killed in the Khan Younis blast and said that "the incident is under review". The footage showing the strike has been at the heart of a dispute between the BBC and the White House.
