The Israeli military releases footage showing gunmen climbing onto trucks carrying humanitarian aid in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip.
The IDF says the gunmen were trying to loot the truck while it was driving along a designated route.
Troops of the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion, who had spotted the gunmen, directed a drone strike against them after they tried to flee in a car. Another gunman was killed while trying to flee the scene.
According to the IDF, Hamas operatives frequently try to hijack aid deliveries before they can be distributed to civilians.
