Two U.S. aid workers were injured in a grenade attack today while distributing food in Khan Younis, Gaza. These weren’t just any volunteers—they were highly decorated American veterans working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an organization providing food directly to Palestinian civilians without funneling it through Hamas.
The attackers? They stepped out of a crowd, threw Iranian-made grenades at the aid workers, then disappeared back into the civilians. Why? Because they wanted a reaction. Hamas and its affiliates know that if American aid workers respond with force, it creates the exact kind of propaganda they can use to stir more hate.
The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the attack was
a hostile act suspected to have been carried out by Hamas gunmen by throwing a hand grenade.”
The Palestinian group has not issued a statement responding to the claims.
