Israel's BOMBSHELL Connection to the Gaza Aid Thefts!

Right, so as if it comes as any surprise whatsoever, the looting of what little aid Israel is allowing into Gaza, instead of being committed by Hamas as Israel are widely claiming is instead happening at Israel’s instigation. As if their war of starvation and the scenes of cruelty we’re witnessing on social media aren’t enough, Israel are it seems backing the very groups looting so much of it, whilst allegedly also offering them military protection and directing aid convoys along dangerous routes making it more likely that they will be targeted and robbed.
Not only are Israel backing these thugs to deny food and aid to the people of Gaza, but coming off the back of a gut-wrenching report from the Gaza Media Office is the news about the sort of people involved in the looting, masquerading as security, with all the uniforms and apparent authority, Israel backing individuals linked various terror groups including one particularly unpleasant individual linked to ISIS.
And if you were thinking at this point the new US backed Swiss NGO that’s taking over from UNRWA to deliver aid will deal with this, the Global Humanitarian Foundation, its now also being reported, as per usual by Israel themselves that actually, they’re involved in that too – so how can we possibly believe any aid is going to get in that way either?
Every politician bleating about getting aid in and the UN in particular here – if you’re not delivering aid yourself, then it probably isn’t going to get where it is needed, already way below the levels required as that is.
Israel’s starvation of Gaza is so much worse than we already thought.
Right, so Israel’s deliberate campaign of starvation is turning out to be so much worse than already thought, because even what aid they are letting in it seems is still too much for it to be allowed to reach hungry Palestinian mouths. Far from being a tragic consequence of war, the starvation gripping Gaza is a deliberately engineered tool of warfare—a war crime - a policy rooted in control, punishment, and the deliberate destruction of a civilian population’s means of survival. While Israel publicly declares its facilitation of aid to the region, what little gets in is nowhere near enough and even what they are letting in they now stand accused of systematically sabotaging through its covert support of looting gangs, including extremist elements, who disrupt aid convoys under the guise of providing security.
The United Nations and other international bodies have repeatedly warned that the blockade of aid amounts to nothing short of collective punishment—a war crime under international law, but the most harrowing aspect of this policy to date has emerged in how Israel has been handling the humanitarian aid on top of severely limiting entry, because they are forcing the aid trucks allowed to pass onto dangerous routes, and now, allegedly, by backing armed gangs to intercept and loot that aid before it can reach distribution centres.
Israel has been deliberately rerouting aid trucks through highly unsafe areas, where looting is rampant. These looters, operating with impunity, have been linked to extremist factions, including gangs under the leadership of ISIS-affiliated figures like Yasser Abu Shabab, who the Cradle have exposed Israel as protecting in order to facilitate the looting:
‘In Gaza, criminal gang leader Yasser Abu Shabab and others like him have re-emerged under the guise of "securing aid," donning uniforms and claiming to protect the limited humanitarian assistance entering the Strip.
Quds News Network reports that Abu Shabab has "established a fortified base in an Israeli-controlled zone in Rafah," now a kill-zone.
These groups operate under Israeli military protection, routinely looting aid convoys, especially in areas like eastern Rafah and Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom).
Abu Shabab is a known leader of armed gangs linked to ISIS and involved in looting aid under Israeli protection. Last year, The New Arab reported that Abu Shabab, among others, was working alongside hundreds of thieves under the protection of Israeli occupation forces near the Kerem Shalom crossing, the primary entry point for aid convoys. He comes from the Tarabin Bedouin tribe, which spans from Sinai to southern Gaza and the Negev desert, and has been identified in a UN memo as “the main influential figure behind the widespread and organized looting” of aid convoys to Gaza. Operating from eastern Rafah, Abu Shabab leads a group armed thugs who attack trucks carrying food and other critical supplies into Gaza.
Multiple reports, including from Haaretz and The Washington Post, confirm that these gangs have been seen looting in full view of Israeli forces, who neither intervene nor prevent the theft.
Abu Shabab, recently active again on social media, boasts of his gang's coordination, while his armed men beat aid drivers and demand protection money, worsening conditions for a starving population.
Meanwhile, Israel has systematically targeted Palestinian police and security officers assigned to guard aid deliveries. Despite international pressure, only a trickle of aid has been allowed in, with Israel striking those attempting to protect it. While Israel enables and facilitates the looting, its propaganda blames Hamas for stealing aid, deflecting responsibility and masking its own role in orchestrating chaos and famine in Gaza.’
The looting therefore has not been a series of isolated incidents but a systemic pattern, it’s organised with Israeli consent, made possible through Israel's military control of the zones where these thefts occur. Aid trucks are not only denied safe passage—they are being set up for failure in the cruellest way possible.
One of the most striking examples of aid sabotage was the targeting of Operation Fares Al-Shamm 3, a UAE-backed initiative intended to provide critical supplies to Gaza. Upon entering the region through Israeli-controlled crossings, at least 23 trucks from the mission were intercepted and looted by armed gangs masquerading as security escorts. An aid operation, co-opted by chaos and theft, all under the watchful eye of Israeli forces.
The involvement of terror-linked gangs in looting convoys further complicates the humanitarian catastrophe. The Gaza Media Office has documented evidence linking these factions to Israeli military units that provide indirect cover during lootings, but also the consequences of them and their latest report, though lengthy, is damning from start to finish:
‘84 days of engineering the starvation of Gaza’s civilians: the "israeli" occupation continues to close all crossings, control humanitarian aid, and perpetrate a systematic genocide
For the 84th consecutive day, the "israeli" occupation maintains a suffocating, airtight siege on the Gaza Strip by completely closing every crossing and enforcing a deliberate, collective-starvation policy that amounts to a war crime and a crime against humanity under international law. Simultaneously, it presses on with a systematic genocide and unrelenting daily killings.
Despite international and human-rights appeals, the occupation blocks the entry of humanitarian and food aid and deliberately cuts off fuel deliveries, bringing vital facilities—foremost among them hospitals and bakeries essential for civilians’ survival—to near total shutdown.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of relief and humanitarian supplies have piled up abroad and begun to spoil because they have been barred from entering Gaza for many months, while the population endures escalating famine and an extremely grave humanitarian situation.
Over these 84 days of total closure, at least 46,200 truckloads of aid and fuel should have reached Gaza to meet residents’ minimum needs. Yet in recent days the occupation has promoted a misleading narrative claiming it "allows" aid in, whereas the reality shows only about 100 trucks—less than 1 percent of basic requirements—have entered. Those few trucks carried limited quantities of medicine and flour to a handful of bakeries, while the occupation still prevents more than 90 percent of Gaza’s bakeries from operating. This starkly exposes the occupation’s policy of "starvation engineering," whereby it deliberately controls the flow and distribution of food, deepening the catastrophe facing more than two million civilians in Gaza.
The occupation also imposes tight restrictions on the movements of these "few trucks," forcing them onto dangerous routes monitored by its drones, leaving them vulnerable to looting by armed groups—some operating with the occupation’s clear connivance. At the same time, it denies the trucks protection and has directly targeted aid-security teams, most recently bombing six personnel and killing them while they performed their humanitarian duty.
In a further escalation, the occupation compels international humanitarian organizations not to distribute aid directly to citizens, as those organizations themselves have stated, intensifying hunger among the most vulnerable—especially women, children, and the sick—amid this genocide and systematic starvation.
Direct consequences recorded over the 80 days since the crossings were closed:
• 58 deaths due to malnutrition.
• 242 deaths from shortages of food and medicine, most of them elderly.
• 26 kidney patients lost their lives for lack of dietary and medical care.
• More than 300 miscarriages among pregnant women because of severe nutrient deficiencies.
We condemn in the strongest terms the occupation’s criminal policies of closing crossings, imposing siege, and executing a policy of starvation—then engineering that starvation—against civilians, children, and the vulnerable.
We hold the "israeli" occupation and the states complicit in this genocide fully responsible for these heinous crimes carried out in full view of the world.
We call on the international community and humanitarian organizations to shoulder their moral and legal obligations, intervene immediately and urgently to rescue Gaza’s civilians from catastrophic famine, and pressure the occupation to open the crossings, allow humanitarian aid to enter in sufficient quantities without delay, and stop the silent—yet deafening—genocide it is committing through starvation and daily killings.’
It is not just a matter of negligence—it is complicity. By supporting or tolerating these gangs, Israel ensures the deterioration of Gaza’s already fragile aid network while blaming the chaos on Hamas or “inter-Palestinian fighting,” yet it is the innocent suffering, the young, the old, the sick, not Hamas.
Yet by framing the looting as a failure of local governance, Israel obfuscates its own hand in engineering the collapse of aid delivery. Yet, testimonies from aid workers, local authorities, and international NGOs contradict Israel’s narrative. They consistently point to Israeli military coordination and control as decisive factors in when, where, and how aid reaches civilians—or more of ten than not doesn't.
Even for those who manage to receive food, preparing it has become a toxic affair. With cooking gas banned from entering Gaza for months, residents have turned to burning wood, plastic, and other hazardous materials just to cook. Gazan residents describe the daily nightmare of feeding their families in an environment where smoke from burning garbage fills the air and poisons lungs. Respiratory diseases, especially among children and the elderly, have surged as a result. This forced reliance on toxic fuel sources is yet another calculated outcome of the siege’s restrictions.
Israel’s control of crossings and its refusal to allow cooking gas into Gaza, despite international appeals, constitutes a further escalation in its war of starvation. By making cooking itself a health hazard, the blockade has managed to weaponise starvation in yet another appalling way.
And coming back to the matter of those NGOs, Israel have once again said the quiet part out loud, this time the Israeli ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, who recently disclosed that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the GHF—touted as a US-led initiative to streamline and oversee aid into Gaza—was in fact created in part by Israeli officials. Reports have revealed that the foundation's leadership includes individuals with strong ties to the Israeli government and security apparatus. Swiss authorities, the NGO was registered in Switzerland despite being supposedly of US design, are now probing the GHF for potential fraud and misconduct before they even start, but what do Israel care, its aid not getting in right?
Throughout this crisis, Israel has consistently pointed the finger at Hamas for the looting of aid, accusing the group of stealing it or mismanaging its distribution. Yet the vast majority of the documented looting has occurred in Israeli-controlled buffer zones and under Israeli military watch and now that we’ve learned who some of those involved in this are, and the reports of Israeli backing, once more investigation is critical. This contradiction is glaring. Israel’s narrative collapses under scrutiny, that is why they shun investigation and call demands for it despite their claims racist, playing victim, reverting to cynical use of propaganda to mask all culpability.
The tactic of blaming the besieged for their own suffering is as old as the colonialism that created Israel itself. But in the age of social media, incredibly brave journalism from people risking their lives, and global humanitarian watchdogs, the truth is harder to suppress. The voices coming out of Gaza—journalists, doctors, aid workers—are united in their indictment: the starvation is not incidental, it is intentional and that intent goes deeper than we already thought.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres recently described the Gaza conflict as entering its “cruellest phase,” with aid trucks looted and humanitarian corridors violated. I’m frankly tied of this man doing a lot of talking about the crisis and doing very little about it, its way past time the UN stepped with humanitarian aid and a peacekeeping force. Israel has got away with genocide for too long with too many people stood there gawping and doing sod all else. Israel continues to receive military and diplomatic support from key Western allies, including the United States and the European Union, when will Palestine get some of that from someone?
To stop the engineered starvation of Gaza people we must demand a shift from our leaders from condemnation to intervention. Independent investigations into the role of Israel in obstructing aid must be launched.
The looting of humanitarian aid in Gaza is not merely a symptom of disorder; it is the predictable result of a system engineered to inflict suffering. From forcing aid trucks through hostile corridors, to backing looting gangs, to denying cooking gas and contaminating food preparation, Israel’s policies represent a comprehensive form of warfare aimed not at combatants at all, but at civilians, women and children, the elderly and the sick. It hits the weakest the hardest.
Those who truly believe in justice must not only speak, but act—before there is nobody left in Gaza to save.
Of course to listen to Benjamin Netanyahu, he’s the victim and the mildest of rebukes from a handful of western leaders has had him issue possibly his most deranged speech ever on live TV for all to see.
