8. It's not at all clear which side is more accurate based on the evidence

Both sides have incentive and history of lying about such things. Taking either story at face value isn't likely to be entirely accurate or unbiased account.

Then there's the potential grey area of what qualifies as shooting in the vicinity is. I suspect I'd feel very differently based on what end of the gun I was on. The IDF could sincerely have fired a safe distance away, but in a panic situation with starving people in a crowd already predisposed to not give the Israeli military the benefit of doubt the crowd could also sincerely feel like they were under fire.
