CENTCOM Releases Drone Video Showing Suspected Hamas Seizing Gaza Aid Truck

CENTCOM frames the footage as evidence of risks to CMCC-run convoys, with daily deliveries now topping 600 trucks.

Overview

  • An MQ-9 drone supporting the U.S.-led Civil-Military Coordination Center recorded the Oct. 31 incident in northern Khan Younis while monitoring the ceasefire.
  • Suspected Hamas operatives were seen attacking the driver, moving him to the road’s median, and driving off with the truck and its humanitarian cargo; the driver’s status remains unknown.
  • The CMCC said the theft undermines ongoing relief operations coordinated by nearly 40 nations and international organizations.
  • The coordination center reported that over the past week more than 600 trucks of commercial goods and aid entered Gaza each day.
  • CENTCOM published the video on X, prompting public condemnation, including from Senator Marco Rubio, as officials weigh how to better protect convoys and drivers.
