Overview

• Fox News published exclusive footage and interviews Thursday showing the boy alive after he and his mother reappeared at Secure Distribution Site 3 in late August.
• The child was identified as Abdul Rahim Muhammad Hamden, known as Abboud, through facial recognition and biometric analysis that matched earlier images.
• GHF says Abboud and his mother, Najlaa, have been moved to a safe, undisclosed location for their protection following the operation.
• The original account by former GHF contractor Anthony Aguilar that the boy was shot by the IDF is challenged by inconsistencies in his retellings about the location and details.
• GHF reports no IDF fire on civilians was recorded at its secure sites on May 28 and calls for more rigorous verification after the claim drew widespread media and political attention.
