IDF Releases Footage of Armed Men Looting an Aid Truck; Says They Were Hamas, Not "Security Personnel"
The IDF released video, filmed July 25, 2025, of armed men looting a humanitarian aid truck in Gaza, saying they were Hamas operatives rather than the "security personnel" Hamas described. The same week, Reuters reported a USAID review that found no evidence of systematic Hamas theft of US-funded aid.
The IDF posted footage filmed on July 25, 2025 showing armed men looting an aid truck, asking "Where is the aid?" and identifying the men as Hamas. Hamas had said such armed men were security personnel protecting convoys. The video is an IDF release and has not been independently verified. It came the same week Reuters reported an internal USAID review that found no evidence of systematic Hamas theft of US-funded aid — a finding the State Department and IDF disputed.
