IDF drone footage reveals armed and masked individuals hurling rocks and firing at Gazans attempting to collect humanitarian aid in southern Khan Yunis.
IDF drone footage captured on Sunday reveals armed and masked individuals hurling rocks and firing at Gazan civilians attempting to collect looted humanitarian aid in southern Khan Yunis.
“Hamas is a brutal and murderous terrorist organization that is starving the residents of Gaza. Hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent the successful distribution of food in Gaza,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement.
Earlier on Sunday, the IDF debunked Hamas’s claims that IDF forces fired toward Gazan residents in the area of the humanitarian aid distribution site in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF’s findings from an initial inquiry indicate that the IDF did not fire at civilians while they were near or within the humanitarian aid distribution site and that reports to this effect are false.
The IDF clarified that it is cooperating with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and international aid organizations to enable the distribution of aid to the Gazan residents, and not to Hamas.
“Hamas does everything in its power to undermine food distribution efforts in the Gaza Strip. Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization that starves and endangers the population in order to preserve its control over the Gaza Strip. As part of its brutal behavior and its attempts to disrupt humanitarian aid, Hamas directly harms the residents of Gaza,” the IDF stated.
The IDF called on the media to be cautious with information published by the Hamas terrorist organization, as proven in several previous incidents.
