Two American Veterans Injured in Hamas Attack on Gaza Aid Site

Two highly decorated American veterans working with the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) were injured in a grenade attack at a food distribution site in southern Gaza. The attack, involving Iranian-made grenades packed with ball bearings, was reportedly carried out by Hamas operatives who then fled into a crowd of civilians. GHF has repeatedly warned of credible threats from Hamas, including bounties placed on both American and Palestinian aid workers, aimed at disrupting humanitarian efforts. Despite these violent attacks and ongoing threats, GHF remains committed to delivering aid, having distributed over 60 million meals to Gaza residents while bypassing Hamas and its proxies. The Israel Defense Forces facilitated the safe evacuation of the injured veterans, who are in stable condition, and condemned Hamas's efforts to undermine aid distribution. U.S. officials, including State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce and Ambassador Mike Huckabee, condemned the attack and expressed support for the aid workers and the humanitarian mission.
