U.S. aid distribution delayed while Hamas loots aid trucks

The delivery of American humanitarian aid to Gaza has been postponed yet again, as reports confirm that Hamas terrorists continue looting trucks entering the Strip, according to Channel 14's Tamir Morag.

While Israeli drone escorts have helped reduce the scale of the theft, officials say the distribution mechanism will not begin until later this week. In response to the deteriorating security situation, the IDF is deploying significant ground forces across Gaza in preparation for what is expected to be a broader and more forceful military operation.

Morag noted that while the fighting in the Gaza Strip is expanding, negotiations between Israel and Hamas are stalled: "Although there is no Israeli delegation in Doha, talks continue indirectly through mediators. As of now, there is no breakthrough."

"In fact," Morag added, "all the regular infantry and armored brigades are currently maneuvering in the Strip. We are talking about Golani, Givati, Paratroopers, Nahal, Kfir Brigade, Uzi Brigade, Commando Brigade, and armored brigades 7, 188, and 401, in addition to reserve brigades operating alongside them. A very large force structure that the IDF has hardly deployed since the beginning of the war."
