2 Americans Injured in Terrorist Attack at Gaza Aid Site

The attack was condemned by both U.S. and Israeli officials on Saturday afternoon.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said the targeting of the aid workers “lays bare the depravity of Hamas.”

“This morning, Hamas terrorists attacked a GHF distribution site, injuring two Americans. This act of violence against the people actually bringing relief to Gazans lays bare the depravity of Hamas. GHF has contributed over 62 MILLION MEALS — nothing will stop these courageous aid workers. We are praying for the rapid recovery of the injured Americans,” Bruce posted on X.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attack “reveals the brutality of Hamas” and called on the United Nations to “stop opposing the activity” of the GHF and instead work together to supply aid to Palestinians in Gaza.

“I would like to send my best wishes for a speedy recovery to the employees of the American aid foundation, who were wounded in the terrorist incident that was perpetrated by Hamas terrorists at the food distribution facility. The foundation employees are doing important work and I thank them and President Trump for the aid. The entire world needs to stand up and condemn the severe incident, which again reveals the brutality of Hamas. The UN must stop opposing the activity of the aid foundation and act in concert so that the latter might continue to safely act on behalf of the residents of the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu posted on X.
