After report claims renewal of Gaza aid imminent, IDF says it ‘will not be providing any aid to Hamas’

The IDF responds to a report by the Ynet news site this morning claiming that the military is expected to resume the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip even amid the ongoing fighting and lack of a hostage deal.

“Following this morning’s report about the humanitarian aid, the IDF is acting in accordance with the directives of the political echelon. Israel is not and will not be providing any aid to Hamas,” the army says.

According to Ynet, Israel will begin to allow some aid into Gaza in the next few weeks to avoid international law violations and future legal problems for commanders who take part in the military operation.

The report said that the IDF “made it clear to the political echelon” that soon there will be no choice but to resume the supply of food, fuel, and medicine to Gaza.
