According to a UN report, on Saturday (11 July), Hamas terrorists forcibly entered a food distribution site operated by the World Food Programme (WFP) in the Jabalia area, forcing the suspension of food distributions that had been providing daily assistance to thousands of families. According to the report, the terrorists also seized a WFP food warehouse and violently assaulted two truck drivers transporting humanitarian supplies.
COGAT strongly condemns this serious incident. As stated by Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, this was not an isolated incident but part of a recurring pattern of intimidation, violence, and disruption of humanitarian operations in the Gaza Strip. This constitutes further clear evidence that Hamas cynically exploits the humanitarian space and the aid intended for the residents of the Gaza Strip for its own purposes.
The facts are clear: humanitarian aid is entering the Gaza Strip. Hamas is the party undermining the distribution mechanisms, seizing humanitarian aid, and preventing it from reaching the civilian population.
❌ ANOTHER HEZBOLLAH CEASEFIRE VIOLATION: IDF soldiers identified a terrorist cell that violated the ceasefire understandings and approached IDF soldiers operating south of the defense line. The terrorists posed a threat to the troops, and in response the IDF eliminated them.
Additionally struck was an underground shaft in the area south of the forward defense line, and Hezbollah terrorists who were identified entering it.
US Drone Observes Aid Truck Looted by Hamas in Gaza
TAMPA, Fla. – On Oct. 31, the U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) observed suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck traveling as part of a humanitarian convoy delivering needed assistance from international partners to Gazans in northern Khan Younis.
The coordination center was alerted through video surveillance from a U.S. MQ-9 aerial drone flying overhead to monitor implementation of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
Operatives attacked the driver and stole the aid and truck after moving the driver to the road’s median. The driver’s current status is unknown.
Over the past week, international partners have delivered more than 600 trucks of commercial goods and aid into Gaza daily. This incident undermines these efforts.
Nearly 40 nations and international organizations represented at the CMCC are working together to help flow humanitarian, logistical and security assistance into Gaza.
