IDF Releases Video Showing Hamas Terrorists Feasting in Gaza Tunnels

With the U.S. and other mainstream media outlets parroting Hamas propaganda falsely claiming Israel was “starving” the people of Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released a video on Wednesday showing Palestinian terrorists feasting and frolicking inside a tunnel.

A nearly one-minute-long video shared by the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee, shows Hamas terrorists jovially waving food items before the camera. While shouting cheerfully in Arabic, they appear to be showing off the exotic fruits and food items they have at their disposal.

“Exclusive views from Hamas tunnels: this is how the terrorists behave underground—isolated from the suffering of the population and contrary to the false claims of starvation,” Colonel Adraee wrote on X. “Once again, Hamas operatives are seen ignoring the hardships faced by the population. This organization spreads lies to the world about alleged starvation while mocking the destruction it has brought upon Gaza.”

The IDF spokesperson also posted pictures of Hamas terrorists passing around a fruit tray and sitting before a table decked with food.

Images and videos emerging from Gaza have repeatedly shown Hamas terrorists and their family members living in luxury and being in great physical shape. At the same time, Israeli hostages have looked incredibly frail and gaunt upon their release from Hamas captivity.

Last year, Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s wife was caught on a surveillance camera clutching a $32,000 bag. According to recent pictures released by the IDF, Hamas’s new terrorist chief and Sinwar’s successor, Izz al-Din Haddad, appears to have gained weight after months of hiding in Gaza.

Israeli news website Ynetnews reports:

IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee released footage on Wednesday afternoon that he said “exposes the daily life of Hamas operatives in underground tunnels during the ongoing war.

“While Hamas leadership falsely accuses Israel of orchestrating a ‘starvation campaign,’ the videos show operatives boasting about their meals underground,” Adraee said.” It’s important to clarify the food shown was not part of the humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza. Once again, the disconnect between Hamas and the suffering of Gaza’s civilians is laid bare. This is the same organization that feeds the world fabricated tales of starvation, all while indulging in the destruction it has inflicted upon its own people.”

“To the people of Gaza—this is the reality,” he added. “These terrorists are not heroes. They are self-serving thieves, hoarding resources at your expense, hiding in tunnels out of fear of facing the consequences of their actions.”

In the footage, Hamas operatives are seen proudly displaying their food supplies, which include fruit, rice, and meat. They address a person named Abu Khaled, saying: “You missed out.” One man remarks, “I ate five bowls of rice today”—as civilians above ground queue for hours just to receive a single plate of food.

The footage was released amid intensifying international criticism of Israel, including accusations that it is contributing to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Reports have also alleged deliberate fire on civilians approaching aid distribution centers.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been complicit in spreading misinformation planted by Hamas and terrorist-linked sources. The news study published by New Jersey-based Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) showed how international media outlets were using dubious sources like the Hamas-run Gaza “Health Ministry” to spread biased and false news reports to malign Israel and the U.S.-backed aid distribution work in Gaza.

Hamas has been rattled by the direct distribution of food and aid to Gaza residents by U.S.-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which became operational in early May. Hamas prefers aid distribution through the United Nations and its affiliated organization — an arrangement that helps the terror group to hoard supplies or sell them at exorbitant rates on the black-market.

Hamas may have skimmed up to a billion dollars through aid distribution operations run by the UN and other organizations in 2024 alone. “We believe Hamas made over one billion dollars last year just from manipulating the system of aid managed by the United Nations and others,” GHF’s executive chairman, Rev. Johnnie Moore, told Fox News on Thursday. “They take free food, then sell it. They hoard it for their fighters. They use it to recruit.”

NYT: Iranian officials blame Israel for ‘mysterious fires’ and blasts targeting IRGC operatives, nuclear weapons experts

Israel is allegedly behind a series of mysterious blasts and fires that eliminated or targeted Iranian regime operatives in recent weeks, The New York Times reported Wednesday, quoting Iranian officials.

The revelations come amid Iranian state media reporting blasts in buildings affiliated with Iranian military in Tehran neighborhoods. The Iranian state media have been downplaying these incidents and characterizing them as random explosions caused by “possible gas leaks.”

The Times reported the latest Iranian claims:

For more than two weeks, mysterious explosions and fires have erupted across Iran, setting ablaze apartment complexes and oil refineries, a road outside a major airport and even a shoe factory.

In public, Iranian officials have shrugged off the events as mere coincidence or blamed aging infrastructure, trying to soothe the frayed nerves of a population still traumatized by the country’s war with Israel and the United States in June.

But in private, three Iranian officials, including a member of the country’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, said they believed that many of them were acts of sabotage.

While Iran’s government has many enemies that would like to see it falter, the officials have trained their suspicions on Israel, pointing to its history of covert operations in Iran, including explosions and assassinations. And after Israel’s 12-day bombing campaign last month in Iran, a senior Israeli intelligence official had vowed to continue operating in Iran.

A European official who deals with Iran said he had also assessed the attacks as sabotage and suspected Israel of involvement, based on its history in Iran — both as a form of psychological warfare and to take out targets. The four officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The Iranian officials interviewed did not provide evidence to back up their suspicions, and the authorities who spoke publicly cited other causes for the explosions, including gas leaks, garbage fires and old infrastructure. But they have also not given the public a convincing explanation of why gas explosions are occurring at a rate of one to two per day across the country.

Some of the events have occurred at strategic infrastructure sites, like a fire at a major oil producing refinery in the southern city of Abadan on Saturday that killed one person, injured many others and took out a production line. Others, like explosions in apartment buildings and factories, contribute to a sense of chaos and instability.

The Iranian authorities are wary of publicly declaring their suspicions about Israel’s potential involvement because, they said, Iran does not want to corner itself into having to retaliate against Israel.

Israeli officials declined requests for comment. But Israel’s intelligence agency, the Mossad, made clear it would continue conducting operations in Iran even after the cease-fire.

Publicly, Iran has sought to explain away the fires. In some cases, such as the blaze in northeast Iran near Mashhad International Airport, Iranian officials said they were conducting “controlled burning of weeds,” and they attributed a fire in Tehran to a garbage fire.

For most of the blazes, however, Iranian officials blamed gas leaks. (…)

Some of the blasts that hit residential buildings were so powerful, they sent massive plumes of smokes into the air, collapsing the walls and ceilings.

Stunned by the accuracy of the recent IDF airstrikes targeting Iranian military top brass and nuclear weapons specialists, paranoid regime operatives are even accusing Israel of summoning “genies” in the latest round of conflict.

“A senior Iranian figure has claimed that Israel employed occult powers and supernatural forces during the recent 12-day conflict between the two countries,” The Times of India reported July 13. Abdollah Ganji, the former editor of the IRGC-affiliated newspaper Javan “accuses Netanyahu of ‘jinn’ tactics,” the newspaper added. Iran’s tyrannical leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has also made similar claims in the past.

Ever wonder why Israel is able to penetrate Iranian intelligence so thoroughly?

Here is a major pro-regime Iranian journalist who claims that "Jewish talisman" and Jinn (yes, really) might have been responsible for helping Israel's war against Iran https://t.co/lhnM11lAnD
