Another round of humanitarian aid destined for civilians in Gaza was hijacked today within moments of crossing into the Strip, a pattern that has become routine under Hamas rule. The latest incident was captured on camera by Palestinian journalist Amer al-Sultan, who filmed armed men in full military attire boarding aid trucks shortly after they entered Gaza. The footage shows militants unloading supplies and redirecting them for their own use, reinforcing long-standing reports that Hamas routinely intercepts and diverts humanitarian assistance intended for the people it claims to represent.

For months, Israel and international observers have warned that Hamas exploits aid deliveries as part of its strategy to maintain control, strengthen its fighters, and manipulate public perception. While aid organizations attempt to reach civilians suffering under the conflict, Hamas continues to weaponize scarcity—taking food, fuel, and medical supplies while blaming Israel for the resulting humanitarian crisis. Today’s hijackings are just another example of how the terror group prioritizes its own power over the basic needs of Gaza’s population.

The scenes filmed by al-Sultan are not anomalies; they are the system. Trucks that should be carrying hope and relief for families instead become targets for militants who seize them without hesitation. Every intercepted shipment widens the suffering of ordinary Palestinians, deepens Hamas’s hold on the Strip, and reveals the truth behind the group’s propaganda. While the world debates Israel’s actions, the reality on the ground is undeniable: Hamas is starving its own people while enriching itself.

This incident underscores why Israel insists on strict oversight and why the international community must confront Hamas’s exploitation of humanitarian aid. Until the terror infrastructure in Gaza is dismantled, civilians will remain trapped between global charity and militant theft—a cycle that will not end as long as Hamas continues to hijack both aid and their future.
