    Do we have clarity on whether the shooting caused the stampede, or vice versa? I thought the former, but this source is alleging something a bit more nuanced.

      Not sure about the stampede but there’s a lot of pictures on Twitter of Palestinians with bullet holes in their head. It’s news to me that stampedes can cause that.

        From what I’ve gathered, many were shot in the upper body but many more died due to a stampede in the chaos that came after IDF shooting at a crowd with thousands of people.

      Eye witnesses say the shots came first them the stampede. I think Aljazeera has footage of the moments before it all started.
