The team was on their way to the Khan Yunis distribution centers at the time of the attack.

“This attack did not happen in a vacuum,” the GHF said in a statement, adding that Hamas has sent multiple threats to the team and workers, as well as the civilians receiving aid from the foundation.

Earlier this week, threatening texts sent by Hamas to aid workers operating in Gaza, saying that those who continue to partner with Israel's aid distribution will face severe consequences, were revealed.

“We are fully aware of everything you are doing, and all your movements are being monitored with extreme precision. You will not be forgiven for your involvement in projects that harm the dignity of our people and serve suspicious agendas under the guise of humanitarian work,” the message read.

“This is your final warning: Continuing down this path will have severe consequences, and you will bear full responsibility for the outcomes of your actions. Stop now, or else.”

This is a developing story.
