If it is True it would be pretty fucked up. Still not even close to the crimes Israel is committing daily. You're not going to bomb anyone into regime change, and it would be asinine to expect 'better' of a people that is actively being genocided.
In a statement late on Sunday, the U.N.'s humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories said humanitarian workers had to halt activity on Saturday after armed men entered a food distribution point in northern Gaza and assaulted two truck drivers in a World Food Program warehouse.
Hamas said it was a law enforcement operation around commercial smuggling using aid packages. If Hamas is the authority there I'd expect Reuters to do their effing job and follow up on that rather than contriving a narrative from thin air.
It's not too surprising that this story has been picked up mostly by Israeli outlets, ignoring both the complete control of Aid that Israel has had deliberately restricted for years (and decades before Oct 7) as well as the Israeli-backed gangs that have historically disrupted aid
Cheers for finding that one, tough situation to decipher, given the known prevalence of agent provocateurs and the probability of this being a genuinely shitty situation where actual Hamas forces have found something and got a bit too American with their policing
Hamas can do no wrong. Therefore, this must be due to inaccurate reporting by Reuters. Unless Common Dreams, Jacobin, or WSWS said this happened, it didn't.

Israel is systematically killing aid workers and preventing aid from entering, but sure 1 raid from the Palestinian resistance is stopping aid
Both can be true at the same time

Press X to doubt and to look side eyed at the focus.
Still just Palestinian people that will suffer, doesn't matter who

This is the closest I've found in regards to topic and date, no mention of Hamas as of yet

Who are common dreams, jacobin or wsws?
(I was originally asking because I'm region locked out of reuters so can't even read what they said)
And how did they verify it was Hamas?
It is so within the realm for Israel to do this shit under guise to keep the bad PR going.
