It's not exactly news. Hamas seizing aid meant for civilian use was going on before Oct 7, it kept happening after Oct 7, and it is happening now. It will likely continue to happen. It just doesn't justify cutting off aid in an attempt to starve both Hamas and the civilian population of supplies.
Loss of supplies must be accepted in extreme circumstances, even to shitheads.
I have a feeling Israels leadership don't agree with you. Their chosen war tactic seem to hinge on starving the enemy until they are ineffective. To them; killing Hamas members are more important than any number of civilian suffering or death.
Yeah. Israel is just pursuing outright genocide.
Hamas has super voodoo powers that mind control the IDF into killing aid workers, again and again, just to make them look bad.
Truly a most devious enemy
The source added that among the trucks that were entered through the Rafah land crossing gate were two diesel trucks, four gas trucks for cooking for homes, and 15 aid trucks. The aid trucks include four food parcel trucks, three water trucks, three cleaning supplies trucks, flour truck, blanket truck, yeast truck, sugar truck, and a medical supplies truck, he added.
The source said that 69 trucks entered into the Gaza Strip through Karem Abu-Salem crossing gate, including 66 aid trucks and three trucks for private sector.
Amongst these were 23 flour trucks, 24 food trucks, blanket truck, six medicine trucks, three mattress trucks, a tent truck, and four barley trucks, while the private sector trucks were a potato truck, date truck, and a lentil truck. https://www.egyptindependent.com/over-90-trucks-enter-gaza-strip-through-rafah-karem-abu-salem-crossings/
The article doesn't say if these numbers are per day or per week, and it would hardly be surprising that Hamas could be "stealing" food ... if for no other reason than they have about 100 hostages to feed.
This is just Bibi screaming to justify his continued genocidal stupidity.
Propaganda
We all saw the videos of Hamas attacking and killing civilians. Or are we pretending that was justified?
Maybe Iran promised more support? I don’t know but I do know that, after seeing the videos I saw, I would not count on Israel stopping the onslaught until every Palestinian in Gaza is either dead or gone.
To most of us it looks like Hamas wrote check they can’t cash. They had to know this would happen. Right?
Doubt

This seems to be a legit paper.
Following the anchor’s comments, footage from an Al-Jazeera interview was played which showed a woman in the enclave complaining that “the aid isn’t reaching all the people” because the aid “is all to their [own] homes. Let Hamas catch me and shoot me and do what they want to me.”
Palestinian civilians complained to the IDF that Hamas stole aid, The Jerusalem Post reported in January, alongside recordings of civilian testimonies.
In one recorded call, a Gazan civilian testified that Hamas murdered his cousin because he tried to seek help from UNRWA. In another conversation, a civilian said he does not leave his home because he fears Hamas will seize it and use the property to fire toward Israel and destroy his house.
I want Israel to stop killing civilians as much as the next guy ... but can we acknowledge Hamas is not "the good guys" here either?
