Stampede, Stabbing Kill Twenty at GHF Aid Site, Instigators Believed to Be Hamas
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - More than 20 Palestinian civilians were killed on Wednesday at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site in Khan Yunis. "19 of the victims were trampled and one was stabbed amid a chaotic and dangerous surge, driven by agitators in the crowd," GHF said. "We have credible reason to believe that elements within the crowd - armed and affiliated with Hamas - deliberately fomented the unrest." "For the first time since operations began, GHF personnel identified multiple firearms in the crowd, one of which was confiscated. An American worker was also threatened with a firearm by a member of the crowd during the incident. This horrific event follows a deeply troubling pattern in recent days. False messages about aid site openings...have circulated widely on Telegram and other platforms, fueling confusion, driving crowds to closed sites, and inciting disorder."
