Israel is poised to roll out a groundbreaking humanitarian aid distribution system in southern Gaza that could transform how food and essential goods are delivered to civilians—while finally closing off Hamas’s ability to hijack relief shipments and use them as a tool for terror.
According to an exclusive report by military correspondent Doron Kadosh on Army Radio’s “Boker Tov Israel,” the initiative zeroes in on the Rafah area, particularly the stretch between the Morag and Philadelphi corridors—territory firmly under Israeli military control.
This effort marks the first major overhaul of Gaza aid logistics since the start of the war, responding to global pressure—including from the United States—to improve humanitarian access while confronting the persistent problem of Hamas theft.

A New Model for Distribution
At the heart of the plan are three fortified distribution centers in Rafah, which will serve as the exclusive aid gateways for the entire Gaza Strip. Access will be granted only to civilians who pass comprehensive Israeli security screenings, ensuring terrorists and their operatives are kept out.
Each Gazan household will be permitted to send one registered individual, whose identity will be documented through a formal registration system supervised by vetted NGOs and U.S.-based private contractors. These individuals will receive a weekly survival-focused food package totaling approximately 70 kilograms—enough to meet basic caloric needs, but not large enough to be stockpiled or rerouted for profit by terrorist factions.
By tightly regulating the flow, size, and recipients of these supplies, Israeli defense officials believe they are finally taking Hamas out of the equation.

A Senior Israeli Official’s Assurance
"Hamas will find it much harder to seize aid from Gazan families,” said a senior Israeli security official familiar with the plan. “It’s one thing to hijack a supply truck—it’s another thing entirely to steal food out of the hands of a mother feeding her child.”
American Oversight and International Pressure
This sweeping overhaul comes amid escalating international demands to improve humanitarian conditions inside Gaza. On Monday, former U.S. President Donald Trump, who remains highly influential in U.S. foreign policy circles, declared that “people are starving” in the Strip and blamed Hamas directly for obstructing humanitarian efforts.
“They’re making it impossible to help the civilians,” Trump said, echoing the longstanding Israeli argument that Hamas is not only a terrorist threat, but a direct obstacle to humanitarian progress.

Preventing Terrorist Weaponization of Aid
Israeli defense sources say the new system walks a tightrope—relieving civilian suffering while denying Hamas the opportunity to weaponize humanitarian relief for propaganda or profit. By removing bulk shipments and decentralizing the aid flow, the plan eliminates the chokepoints Hamas traditionally exploited.
“What we’re doing now is giving Gazans a lifeline—but one Hamas cannot control,” the Israeli official said. “This is humanitarian relief with military-grade security built in.”
Conclusion
If successful, the new system could become a template for conflict zones worldwide—a model for securing aid in environments where terrorists seek to hijack international goodwill for their own agendas. For Israel, it is not only a tactical shift—it’s a moral and strategic victory rolled into one.
