Residents of Gaza expose Hamas violence on Cogat testimonials help sites

The Israel coordinator for government activities in the territories (COGAT), which oversees humanitarian and civil efforts in Gaza, published two revealing conversations between the residents of Gaza and the coordination and liaison administration (CLA) for Gaza.

The residents of Gaza, who Cogat – An Israeli said, were on humanitarian aid distribution sites, explained to an ALC officer on how Hamas tries to disrupt the aid system with violence and manipulation. The testimonies reveal that “Hamas shoots from the residents of Gaza near the aid distribution sites, distributes false claims on FDI fires, publishes data made on a large number of victims and circulates with false images”, according to Cogat.

The spokesperson for the State Department, Tammy Bruce, recognized the use of the violence of Hamas to “interfere with the aid of deliveries to the inhabitants of Gaza”.

“This is how Hamas operates – they deliberately shoot people and want this to seem that the army was it, so that no one approaches aid distribution areas,” a resident of Gaza told an ALC officer, according to the translation of Cogat.

Another Gaza resident told an alc officer that the Palestinians trying to get help “meet thugs on the way” and that “these thugs kill 2, 3, 5 people”.

Fox News Digital could not independently verify the identity of the residents.

Tensions are increasing that Israel is deriving strongly from Palestinians on the humanitarian site in Gaza

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a group supported by the United States and Israel, has faced reactions on violent and even fatal incident reports around its secure sites. In response to the videos published by Cogat, a spokesperson for the GHF said that “Hamas endeavors to destroy Gaza Humaninian Foundation because our model works”.

The GHF has rejected the assertions that the Palestinians are killed on its sites. However, he says Hamas killed some of its staff members, “bonus on our American workers and threatened with civilians for accepting aid.”

“To date, there has been no victim in or nearby of our sites. Many alleged incidents had no correlation with our sites, but a deliberate disinformation orchestrated by the Ministry of Health controlled by Hamas (Gaza),” said a spokesperson for Fox News Digital.

Despite the counterou, the GHF encourages other organizations – including its detractors – to join its mission to provide help to the inhabitants of Gaza while ensuring that Hamas did not get their hands on it.

“In the end, the solution is more help. If other groups joined us, we could evolve … We could also collaborate with the UN and other groups on other means while ensuring that their aid reaches good people,” said GHF spokesperson.
