Jerusalem: On December 9th, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) posted a video on social media revealing Hamas terrorists engaging in the looting of humanitarian aid intended for Gaza, sent by various international organizations. The footage captured Hamas members not only confiscating the aid but also assaulting a relief worker with a stick and making off with a vehicle loaded with humanitarian supplies.
In their social media post, the IDF asserted, "Hamas members beat civilians and steal the humanitarian aid they received from international organizations—facilitated by Israel." The IDF emphasized that Hamas prioritizes its terrorist objectives over the needs of the people in Gaza.

Israel has consistently accused the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNPRA) of playing a role in perpetuating the conflict in Gaza and fostering animosity towards the Jewish State. The concern revolves around whether funds designated for the welfare of Palestinians end up being diverted for terrorist activities.
A notable example is the case of Gaza aid worker Mohammed Halabi, affiliated with the global charity 'World Vision,' who diverted $50 million of humanitarian funds to the Hamas terrorist group. These funds were used for the construction of tunnels and rockets aimed at attacking Israel. Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service identified Halabi as a "major figure in the terrorist/military arm of Hamas."
Despite efforts to supervise aid distribution and prevent it from reaching the terror group, the Hamas-run government benefits from foreign support for schools, hospitals, and infrastructure. This assistance allows Hamas to allocate its resources elsewhere, including the taxes and customs it collects.
