Hamas in Gaza attacked an aid truck driver, stole the supplies and placed the driver on the side of the road, the American military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said Saturday on X, posting footage of the incident.
“The U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) observed suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck traveling as part of a humanitarian convoy delivering needed assistance from international partners to Gazans in northern Khan Younis,” CENTCOM tweeted.
The Command’s coordination center in the Israeli city of Kiryat Gat, established in October to help monitor the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, saw the incident via a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone flying overhead, the U.S. military said.
The driver’s current status is unknown, it added.
“Over the past week, international partners have delivered more than 600 trucks of commercial goods and aid into Gaza daily. This incident undermines these efforts,” the American military stressed.

Under the ceasefire deal terms, some 4,200 humanitarian aid trucks enter the Strip on a weekly basis.
United Nations agencies, alongside other bodies, are supposed to receive the aid inside Gaza and distribute it to the population.
The Civil-Military Coordination Center in the Kiryat Gat industrial zone houses hundreds of personnel. The three-story structure includes a first floor designated for Israeli security personnel only (a secure area for officials from the IDF, Foreign Ministry, Mossad and Shin Bet).
While the third floor is for U.S. personnel only, the second floor is a joint working hub where Israelis, Americans and representatives from other partner nations work side-by-side. The partners include Germany, Spain, Denmark, Britain, Canada, Italy and France, alongside international bodies such as the United Nations and various humanitarian aid organizations.
The goal of the CMCC is to provide solutions for rebuilding Gaza and ensuring its demilitarization, including the disarmament of Hamas. The Israeli section’s purpose is to ensure that the Jewish state’s military and diplomatic interests are taken into consideration.
