Prepare for all the liberal newspapers suddenly discovering Israel has been doing war crimes and feeling a lot of sympathy for Palestinians.

Yeah I get they’re casings, but what from? More out of curiosity. Doesn’t look like rocket pods. Maybe they carry artillery ammunition?
155mm propellant (MACS) which means it could be anywhere in range of 40km from impact. the closer it is, the less strain is put on howitzer barrels, less charges are used and accuracy goes up a bit
that, or a tank round container. MACS container should have markings 1.3C, 1.2E makes more sense for a tank round. in which case it was where tank crews reloaded, so close to their supply point, and not where they went out to
120mm containers would be more common because it’s one shot per one box vs a couple at closer ranges for MACS. neither proves anything other than “there was military activity there” which is already known
I tried searching online. It suggested 155mm artillery ammunition or tank rounds based on the letters. But the pictures of the ammunition looks quite different from the online pictures of the casing. Going to need a weapons expert on this one.
Like other have said, very likely cases for tank rounds instead of arty given they were ditched in Gaza - but without a clear shot of the reverse hard to tell exactly what kind, they are generic containers until labeled for their contents. US made and supplied:

155mm projectiles are screwed into a plank with a transport plug and loaded into a pallet this way, with fuzes shipped separately in a box
