"They fired so we’d starve”: Hamas accused of targeting aid seekers

The IDF spokesman revealed today (Thursday) recordings from the beginning of the week, in which Gazan residents testified before an officer at the Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza about Hamas's attempts to undermine the distribution of humanitarian aid to the residents of the Strip.

In the conversations, residents reported that the terror organization is taking various actions to prevent Gazans from receiving humanitarian aid, including shooting at IDF forces near distribution points and spreading false information about numerous casualties near the distribution points.

"Those who shot were Hamas members. They do not want people to receive aid; they want to sabotage the plan so that the aid goes to them, so they can steal it," said one of the residents. "They live off stealing; they have completely gone bankrupt."

They also claimed that Hamas "wants the aid to enter through the UN and international bodies, so that they can steal it. They are really criminals, real ISIS, human animals. They are not human beings at all, they have no compassion for their people."

"Hamas is a murderous and cruel terrorist organization that is starving the residents of Gaza," the IDF Spokesperson said.
