New text reveals Hamas threats to aid workers, warning of 'severe consequences'
The threat came after the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced it had distributed over 1 million meals across the Gaza Strip Sunday.
New text reveals Hamas's threats to aid workers operating in Gaza, saying that those who continue to partner with Israel's aid distribution will face severe consequences, Ynet published on Sunday.
“We are fully aware of everything you are doing, and all your movements are being monitored with extreme precision. You will not be forgiven for your involvement in projects that harm the dignity of our people and serve suspicious agendas under the guise of humanitarian work,” the message read.
“This is your final warning: Continuing down this path will have severe consequences, and you will bear full responsibility for the outcomes of your actions. Stop now, or else.”
A joint statement circulating across Palestinian Telegram channels, signed by the ‘Palestinian Resistance Factions,’ also condemned the continuation of the aid centers.
“The main goal of the so-called American aid distribution centers is to end UNRWA's mission and liquidate the Palestinian cause as a political issue, transforming it into a relief and humanitarian one,” the statement, circulating across Palestinian Telegram channels, said.
“We warn all our people against being lured by any false promises from the Zionist occupation or its mercenaries, agents, and thieves,” the groups wrote, adding that all resistance security forces had “full authority and authorization” to strike anyone who responded to enemy plans.
The GHF distributed over 1 million meals on Sunday
The announcement came as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) allowed aid to be distributed by Gazan merchants who received food from the organization.According to sources from the foundation, the food was transferred to the merchants, who then distributed the food boxes to the citizens. This is in addition to the humanitarian aid distribution centers in Rafah.
According to the GHF, 1,157,760 meals have been distributed across the three sites and a direct community distribution on Sunday, adding that distribution at all sites occurred without incident.
