Gazans testify that Hamas arbitrarily shoots people and masks it as IDF attacks to block all aid

Gaza City: Amid increase in Hamas attacks, Gazans, present at the humanitarian aid distribution sites have testified that the Iran-backed terror group arbitrarily kills people in the area and masks it as Israeli military attacks, in its attempts to block humanitarian aid to the war-torn area.

In addition, they accused the group of carrying out propaganda, and psychological manipulation against civilians at aid sites, COGAT (Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories) revealed today, as per Jerusalem Post.

The audio recordings released by COGAT reveal that Hamas seeks to disrupt the distribution of food packages at the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution sites.

Gazans present in the area said that Hamas arbitrarily fires at people present in the area obstructing all aid, masquerades the shootings as IDF attacks, and publishes "fabricated data about large numbers of casualties," through fake footages, revealed COGAT’s findings.

Furthermore, GHF workers said on Monday that Hamas had placed bounties on American security workers in the enclave, and that 12 local staff members of the organisation had been murdered by Hamas, and several were tortured.

“Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers, offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them,” the GHF statement said.

The findings corroborate the IDF’s own reports, where it revealed on Sunday that residents had testified to an officer from Gaza’s District Coordination and Liaison about Hamas’ attempts to obstruct the distribution of humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip.

The residents testified that Hamas was doing all that it could to block aid to Gaza, including firing at IDF troops near distribution points and spreading false claims about mass casualties near those areas.
