Hamas Slaughters Eight Aid Workers in Gaza Ambush, Several Feared Kidnapped
Aid distribution to continue despite deadly Gaza attack, says U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
Hamas, on Wednesday night, ambushed a bus carrying aid workers of the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), killing at least eight and injuring several others. The GHF also fears that some of its “team members may have been taken hostage” by the Gaza-based terrorist group, the aid organization said in a statement.
“The new group backed by Israel and the US for aid distribution in Gaza says Hamas attacked a bus transporting some of its Palestinian workers, killing at least five people,” the BBC reported Thursday. “The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said the attack happened on Wednesday night as the bus carrying more than two-dozen workers travelled to a distribution centre in southern Gaza, and that it came after days of threats from Hamas.”
Last month, the GHF, supported by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), established a network of aid distribution centers across Gaza in an efforts to provide direct humanitarian relief to Gaza residents and bypass Hamas.
Since the war began nineteenth months ago in the wake of the October 7 massacre, Hamas has been hoarding the humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza; ensuring supplies for its terrorist fighters and selling it at exorbitant rates on the black market.
The perverse incentives of the int’l community will punish the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for having its staff murdered and reward Hamas for doing the murdering.

The GHF revealed the details of Hamas’s dastardly attack on aid workers in its statement:
Tonight, at approximately 10 p.m. Gaza time, a bus carrying more than two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team, local Palestinians working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team to deliver critical aid, were brutally attacked by Hamas. At the time of the attack, our team was en route to one of our distribution centers in the area west of Khan Younis. (…)
This attack did not happen in a vacuum. For days, Hamas has openly threatened our team, our aid workers, and the civilians who receive aid from us. These threats were met with silence.
The GHF holds Hamas fully responsible for taking the lives of our dedicated workers who have been distributing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people at the foundation’s sites in central and southern Gaza.
Since the October 7 massacre, Hamas has been using aid to finance its terrorist operations against Israel. “Some of the aid Hamas steals, it immediately resells to residents, the victims of the theft,” the newspaper Israel Hayom noted February 2025. “Its revenue from this channel is estimated at $50 to $100 million per month, totaling nearly a billion dollars since the war began.”

The attack comes after Hamas issued repeated threats to disrupt the U.S.-backed humanitarian effort. On May 27, The Legal Insurrection reported that the GHF-led relief effort “has been rolled out despite Hamas’s threatening aid workers and vowing to prevent Gazans from receiving aid.”
Hamas in a statement, on Sunday, threatened to use the “full authority and mandate to strike decisively against any entity or individual collaborating with the enemy’s plans or with any rogue, criminal, or traitorous elements that violate the law and the traditions of our people.”
In a not-so-veiled threat to the members of private U.S. security and logistics companies, which facilitate GHF’s humanitarian work in Gaza, Hamas declared that “[a]ll agents, thieves, and armed criminal gangs are considered legitimate targets for the resistance and its security apparatus.”
In recent days, Palestinian terrorists have staged attacks on GHF distribution centers in a bid to cynically target Israeli troops and Gaza civilians alike. Following one such attack last weekend, Hamas tried to fabricate claims of an Israeli massacre.
GHF: Aid distribution continues despite deadly Hamas attack
The deadly attack did not deter the GHF from bringing aid to Gaza residents, The Times of Israel reported:
Despite the attacks, GHF delivered the most meals it has in a single day today, according to its own figures.
It opened three sites, two in southern Gaza’s Tel Sultan and one at Wadi Gaza in the central Strip. The organization distributed over 45,000 boxes of food aid today, with more than half of those distributed at its original aid site in Rafah, near the shore along the Gaza-Egypt border.
The US- and Israeli-backed foundation says each box contains meals for 5.5 people for 3.5 days.
Israel special forces capture Hamas terrorists in Syria
The Israeli special forces, on Wednesday night, raided a Hamas base in southern Syria and captured several terrorists, the military disclosed. This is latest in the series of Israeli counter-terrorism operations in Syria since the country’s dictator Bashar al-Assad fled in early December, paving the way for an Islamist takeover.

“Last night, troops of the 3rd Brigade, under the command of the 210th Division, completed an operation to apprehend Hamas terrorists operating in the Beit Jinn area of Syria,” the IDF revealed in a statement Thursday. “Based on intelligence gathered in recent weeks, IDF troops executed a targeted nighttime operation in Syria and apprehended several Hamas terrorists who had been attempting to advance multiple terror plots against Israeli civilians and IDF troops in Syria.”
The Hamas operatives have been flown into Israel for interrogation. “The terrorists were transferred to Israeli territory for further interrogation by Unit 504,” the IDF added.

Gaza Update: Operation Gideon’s Chariots (day 39)
The IDF, in coordination with the Shin Bet security agency, continued to hit Hamas’s terrorist forces and infrastructure across Gaza as the Operation Gideon’s Chariots entered its 39th day.
“Directed by IDF and ISA intelligence, IDF troops continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip,” the military said Thursday.
The IDF destroyed a Hamas weapons factory, eliminating several terrorists. “Earlier today (Thursday), the IDF and ISA struck Hamas terrorists who were operating in a structure in the Shati area in central Gaza that was being used as a weapons production facility,” the military disclosed. “The facility struck was used to produce weapons for the Hamas terrorist organization and were intended to be used in terror attacks targeting IDF troops operating in the Gaza Strip.”
Israeli Air Force conducted airstrikes on Hamas terror targets. “Over the past day, the IAF struck dozens of terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip, including terrorists, military structures, observation and sniper posts that posed a threat to the troops in the area, weapons storage facilities, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites,” the IDF disclosed.

‘Aid distribution to continue despite deadly Gaza attack, says U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).’
And this is why bleeding heart leftists are so stupid.
You’re continuing to reward the subhuman savages stealing and murdering you.
So they’ll continue to do it.
“Oh, it’s okay. They didn’t mean to do it.”
I celebrate this decision whole heartedly.
Stupid people feeding savages. They ought to be assaulted.
Stupid people burning LA. Let them burn their own neighborhoods. Who cares.
The more these stupid people put themselves in harms way, the less we have to deal with them and their progeny.
I would agree with your LA comment except the taxpayers of the US would end up paying for rebuilding it.
Not for at least the next 3 1/2 years.
Meanwhile all the idiots on X are absolutely convinced that Israel is starving the Gazans and shooting people trying to collect aid.
Musk could remove tweets from Twitter, but he couldn’t remove the twits from X.
Its not like the leadership caste of these organisations are the ones being put in danger. They are fine in their well paid jobs in lovely comfy air conditioned buildings no where near the danger zone.
Are arabs handing out candy again while celebrating the slaughter of aid works trying to help them? Inquiring minds wish to know.
This must be a day of high celebration for Ivy League faculty and administrations.
Burn it to the ground and salt the earth.
Or nuke it from orbit. The only way to be sure..

america has been made the fool over nad over and over
sending aid when its common knowledge that the military takes the supplies…of course
they have the guns
but america continues to try and help
stop it already
will karen bass fly to israel to comfort them???
She’s black. She hates Jews.
of course
So it’s kind of like selling EBT Cards or trading SNAP credits for drugs and stuff. Sad folks were killed. Let the Gazans eat dirt.
Foreign aid, SNAP, and EBT. All failures.
Even the parks have signs “please don’t feed the animals.”
And the IDF wouldn’t let Asperger Thunberg and her gang of idiots share their love with Hamas. Yeesh!
I was kind of interested to see if the Gaza PR people would be smart enough not to kill her.
I wondered exactly the same thing. Could’ve gone either way. This is one time I think the IDF did the wrong thing. They would have made out either way: if she was killed or kidnapped, the world would have become a better place. If she was celebrated, no one would notice or care.
The Gazans voted for Hamas and continue to support them–let them deal with the consequences
Unfortunately, in all situations, the people are collectively responsible for their leadership and the leadership’s actions. In democratic societies, they’re responsible for voting the rotters in. In authoritarian, non-democratic societies, they’re responsible for the not rising up and killing the rotters.
Bet not a word from the hear on evil, see no evil, speak no evil by the Hamas backers
More evidence that it’s ridiculous to send any aid to Gaza until the Hamas filth surrenders or is wiped out.
“…full authority and mandate to strike decisively against any entity or individual collaborating with the enemy’s plans…that violate the law and the traditions of our people.”
And they’re true to that. The tradition is that a few vicious thugs dominate and steal from the rest, whom they farm like cattle. Breaking that tradition means the thugs have less power. They can’t stand that. So when they see it happening, like people giving food to those without it, they kill the givers and beat up the recipients.
And the MSM says it’s Israel’s or Trump’s fault, while Soros dances a jig with Satan.
