Hamas condemned the US allegations of its operatives looting an aid truck in a video released by CENTCOM on behalf of the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) on Friday.
The video is of what CENTCOM said was “suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck traveling as part of a humanitarian convoy delivering needed assistance from international partners to Gazans in northern Khan Yunis."
"The claims are baseless and unfounded,” the Palestinian terror group stated, and are nothing more than an attempt to “justify the already limited reduction of humanitarian aid” and cover up the "ongoing starvation” in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas continued, claiming that the looters were sponsored by Israel, and that no organization operating in Gaza, or any of the Palestinian truck drivers transporting the aid, had filed a report on the incident, “proving that the scene cited by US Central Command is fabricated.”
“We remind the US administration that there are other mediators” who are “far more credible” and did not see any sort of looting, Hamas argued, slamming the US over “deepening its immoral bias” by spreading only “Israel’s narrative.”

'Confirming what everyone in Gaza already knows'
"This theft undermines international efforts in support of President Trump’s 20 Point Plan to deliver critical assistance to innocent civilians," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. "Hamas is the impediment. They must lay down their arms and stop their looting so that Gaza can have a brighter future.""US Central Command is confirming what everyone in Gaza has known, but was denied for two years by international journalists, activists, politicians, NGOs, and supposed 'experts, '" Palestinian analyst Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib wrote. "Hamas has been systematically stealing, looting & siphoning aid meant for suffering Palestinians in the Gaza Strip."
"What makes the conclusion of the video 100% is the presence of a pick-up truck full of Hamas operatives, passing by the truck as the knocked-out driver is being thrown in the median divider of the road," Fouad explained. "These are the pick-up trucks that Hamas's 'police' and enforcers use to roam around Gaza, execute, murder, kidnap, torture, and disappear people."
