Video appears to show Hamas stealing trucks of humanitarian aid that have entered the Gaza Strip from Egypt.

Masked and armed men sit on top of the supplies as the trucks are driven deeper into the Strip.

Hebrew-language media reports the men are from Hamas.

Other footage shows Gazan civilians looting supplies shortly after they arrive through the Rafah crossing.

While there is a growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israel has long said that the Hamas terror group has stockpiled supplies and kept them from increasingly desperate civilians.
