Hamas Hijacks Aid Truck in US Military Footage
3rd November 2025
The US has released drone footage showing what it claims is Hamas hijacking an aid truck in southern Gaza.
The video shows a number of men appearing to move the driver from the cab of the vehicle then leaving him inert in the road’s central reservation.It was published by the US Central Command, which has recently set up a multinational headquarters in Israel.
The incident took place while Gen Dan Caine, the US chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, was on an official visit to Israel as a guest of the IDF chief of staff.
Israel has long argued that Gaza’s hunger problems in the first half of the summer were primarily caused by Hamas’s widespread looting of the aid supply, although this was denied by the United Nations and other aid organisations.
Centcom said in a statement that its new Civil-Military Coordination Centre “observed suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck travelling as part of a humanitarian convoy delivering needed assistance from international partners to Gazans in northern Khan Younis”.
