Overview

• Anthony Aguilar, a retired US Green Beret, says he was told by an Israeli lieutenant colonel to have snipers “take these kids out” at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution point.
• Aguilar recounted how a starving boy named Amir was shot moments after thanking aid workers for scraps of food.
• He claimed US contractors from Safe Reach Solutions were directed to obey IDF orders without question, with one officer advising “never say no to the client.”
• The Israel Defense Forces and Gaza Humanitarian Foundation have rejected Aguilar’s allegations and cited his contract termination for alleged misconduct.
• The IDF’s ongoing war crimes investigation and international calls for independent inquiries have gained urgency as conflicting testimonies and mounting civilian casualties raise accountability concerns.
