Two American veterans working with the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) have been injured in an attack while distributing aid to Palestinians.
As reported by Fox News, the two veterans are reportedly receiving medical treatment and are in stable condition. GHF said the Americans were "highly decorated" veterans.
"GHF has repeatedly warned of credible threats from Hamas, including explicit plans to target American personnel, Palestinian aid workers, and the civilians who rely on our sites for food. Today's attack tragically affirms those warnings," the organization wrote on X.
Despite the attacks, GHF vowed that it was still committed to the mission of delivering aid to Gazans.
The group later posted an image of grenade fragments left over from the attack, showing the weapons were packed with ball bearings, Fox reported. According to GHF Executive Chairman Rev. Johnnie Moore, the grenades were found to be of Iranian origin and have been "commonly used by Hamas."
"I am sorry to say also that today's terror attack on Americans is partly a byproduct of the legitimacy that many in the press and at the [U.N.] provide to Hamas – amplifying Hamas' lies about GHF every day, but also actively collaborating with Hamas," Moore wrote on X.

Indeed.
They were probably trying to give aid directly to the people, and not Hamas. Which erodes Hamas’ control over the masses, so it can’t be allowed.
Suspend this aid.
Eradicate Hamas.
Deport all Gazans to Iran who arms them.
This bad situation will Never resolve in Gaza without eradicating Hamas and relocating their people to Iran.
Let them die, and never mind "world opinion".
I am sorry that veterans were hurt but you know what you are getting yourself into when you go to a place like Gaza. Americans have this incredible ability to believe that they can walk into a dangerous Hellhole and that the violence won’t impact them.
This morning, two American aid workers were injured in a targeted terrorist attack during food distribution activities at SDS-3 in Khan Younis. The attack – which preliminary information indicates was carried out by two assailants who threw two grenades at the Americans – occurred at the conclusion of an otherwise successful distribution in which thousands of Gazans safely received food. No local aid workers or civilians were harmed.
The injured Americans are receiving medical treatment and are in stable condition. We are grateful their injuries are not life-threatening and ask the public to keep them and their families in their thoughts and prayers.
GHF has repeatedly warned of credible threats from Hamas, including explicit plans to target American personnel, Palestinian aid workers, and the civilians who rely on our sites for food. Today’s attack tragically affirms those warnings.
Despite this violence, GHF remains fully committed to its mission: feeding the people of Gaza safely, directly, and at scale. Attempts to disrupt this life-saving work will only deepen the crisis. We will continue to stand with the people of Gaza and do everything in our power to deliver the aid they so urgently need.
the vets were there to gather intelligence.
Pro Tip : Don’t go to Gaza, dumbasses.
That should be “Maybe the vets were there to gather intelligence”. Don’t know how “Maybe” got cut off.
Hamas doesn’t care who you so long as they can do harm to America. You should take all responsibility for what happens to you over there but sadly, it will fall back onto America to waste time on these two. I see which side they are on and it isn’t America’s.
Stupid should hurt.
Also known as ‘dumbassery’.
Why would anyone in their right mind take “aid” into the warzone known as gaza???
Because they really, really care. Unlike us. 🤔🤗👍
This is 100% animal level mentality. Wild animals will try to kill you when you may be trying to help them, just like these terrorists.
Were they attacked because they were veterans? Would this be any less a problem if they were not veterans?
