Small Gazan group claims it got humanitarian aid from Al-Qaeda in Yemen

Nurit Yohanan is The Times of Israel's Palestinian and Arab world correspondent

A video released from Gaza City on Monday — and circulating on social media in the past few hours — by a group in Gaza calling itself “Ahrar Bayt al-Maqdis” claims it has received humanitarian aid in the form of food through donations from Al-Qaeda in Yemen.

The group is not known, but its name suggests it may be a Muslim Salafi group operating in Gaza.

It isn’t clear if the claim is true and how the Yemeni goods would have been snuck into the Strip.
