The IDF publishes a drone video it says shows Palestinian gunmen and other masked Palestinians opening fire and throwing stones at Gazans heading to collect humanitarian aid that had been looted in southern Khan Younis earlier today.
The IDF does not explicitly say that the armed men are Hamas members, but adds that “Hamas does everything it can to prevent the success of the food distribution in Gaza.”
“Hamas is a murderous and brutal terror organization that starves the residents of Gaza,” the military adds.
The video is unrelated to the deadly incident near an aid distribution site in Rafah early this morning, in which 31 Palestinians were killed according to Hamas authorities.
