The official statement declared, "Hamas, which openly uses civilians as human shields, operates from hospitals and uses schools and kindergartens to store weapons, has stolen aid from Gaza's population many times by shooting Palestinians."

Armed Hamas terrorists conducted a brazen theft of humanitarian aid trucks on Tuesday in Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip, in a dramatic incident captured on video that shows the systematic seizure of supplies meant for civilian populations. The footage reveals gunmen riding on truck rooftops and sides while brandishing weapons and speeding along stone-covered roads.

 Gaza residents attempted to stop the convoy by throwing stones, but the armed terrorists continued their high-speed escape without stopping. The video provides stark evidence of how Hamas intercepts international aid intended for the territory's civilian population. This incident adds to mounting documentation from recent weeks showing Hamas' forcible seizure of humanitarian supplies, taking aid from residents to benefit the organization's members instead of the intended recipients.

The Prime Minister's Office announced Monday that Israel continues coordinating with international agencies, the United States, and European nations to maintain humanitarian aid flow to Gaza. The statement came as the reduced security cabinet convened Monday evening amid reports that decisions regarding Gaza operations are imminent.

Israel has implemented daily operational pauses from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in central populated Gaza areas and established secure routes operating from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. to facilitate safe convoy passage. The announcement confirmed that Israel already permits substantial daily humanitarian aid quantities to Gaza, including food, water, and medical supplies.

Israel simultaneously leveled accusations against Hamas for stealing aid from Gaza's population while attacking Palestinians who resist. The official statement declared, "Hamas, which openly uses civilians as human shields, operates from hospitals and uses schools and kindergartens to store weapons, has stolen aid from Gaza's population many times by shooting Palestinians."
