Israeli military denies Hamas’ claim of targeting civilians awaiting food aid
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Debunks Hamas’ Claim of Targeting Palestinian Citizens
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has refuted Hamas’ assertion that they deliberately attacked a gathering of Palestinian citizens waiting for food aid. The Gaza Health Ministry, controlled by the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist group, alleged that over 100 people were killed and 700 injured in what they portrayed as an unprovoked act of aggression by Israel.
However, there is no confirmation of the numbers provided by Hamas, and the terror group has a history of deception throughout the ongoing war. The conflict was sparked by Hamas’ unprecedented terrorist attack on October 7, which led to Israel declaring a state of war.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, IDF Spokesperson, stated that the incident on Thursday occurred during the fourth consecutive night of Israel delivering aid directly to the people of Gaza. The IDF’s initial review revealed that they did not strike the aid convoy, and the majority of casualties were a result of a stampede.
The IDF released drone footage showing thousands of Palestinians rushing towards the trucks to obtain supplies. Israel’s review indicated that warning shots were fired in an attempt to disperse the stampede. Throughout history, stampedes have proven to be deadly, causing the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of people.
Hagari emphasized that Israel’s war is solely against Hamas, not the people of Gaza. Israel is committed to following international laws of war and will conduct a thorough investigation to prevent similar tragic incidents during humanitarian operations in the future.

Israel’s ongoing campaign against Hamas was prompted by the October 7, 2023 attack, where thousands of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people, injuries to over 5,300, hundreds of kidnappings, and a violent campaign of assault and rape against girls and women.

What role does Hamas play in deliberately targeting Israeli civilians and using Palestinian civilians as human shields
Is aid is part of Israel’s ongoing commitment to providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, regardless of their nationality or political affiliation.
Hamas’ claim that this incident was deliberate is baseless and contradicted by multiple accounts from the ground. The IDF has conducted a thorough investigation and found no evidence to support Hamas’ allegations. In fact, the evidence points to the contrary, indicating that Hamas strategically placed its fighters among civilians in an attempt to use them as human shields. This despicable tactic is a clear violation of international law and puts innocent lives at risk.
It is important to note that the IDF takes extensive precautions to avoid civilian casualties during its operations. Israel’s military is renowned for its adherence to strict rules of engagement and its commitment to minimizing collateral damage. The IDF employs advanced technology and intelligence capabilities to accurately target terrorist infrastructure while minimizing harm to civilians.
In contrast, Hamas has a long history of deliberately targeting Israeli civilians and using Palestinian civilians as pawns in its terror campaign. The terror group routinely operates from within heavily populated areas, including schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods, intentionally endangering the lives of innocent Palestinians.
The international community must recognize Hamas’ ongoing deception and condemn its continuous use of human shields. By exploiting the suffering of their own people, Hamas seeks to manipulate public opinion and discredit Israel’s legitimate defense efforts.
It is crucial to approach Hamas’ claims with skepticism and rely on verified information from reliable sources. The IDF remains committed to transparency and has cooperated with international organizations, including the United Nations, to ensure accurate reporting of events on the ground. It is essential that the truth prevails over propaganda and deliberate distortions.
The IDF will continue to defend the citizens of Israel from terrorist attacks and uphold its commitment to the international laws of armed conflict. While unfortunate incidents may occur in the chaos of war, the IDF’s primary objective remains the protection of innocent lives, regardless of their nationality or religion.
It is imperative that the international community thoroughly examines the facts and acts based on objective reality rather than distorted narratives. Cooperation between nations and a united front against terrorism are essential in achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
The IDF remains committed to its mission of defending Israel’s security and safeguarding the lives of its citizens. It strives to uphold the principles of justice and humanity, even in the face of relentless and baseless accusations. The Israel Defense Forces will continue to act with precision, courage, and unwavering determination to protect the innocent and ensure the long-term peace and prosperity of the region.
