In a chilling escalation of brutality, Hamas has reportedly placed cash bounties on American security personnel and Palestinian humanitarian workers in Gaza, offering payouts to anyone willing to maim or murder those trying to feed the hungry.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US and Israel-backed NGO operating in the war-torn enclave, revealed on Sunday that twelve of its local staff members have already been murdered by Hamas, with others subjected to torture, as the terror group openly wages war on humanitarian workers amid its campaign of violence against Israel and its own people.
“Hamas’s targets are heroes who are simply trying to feed the people of Gaza in the middle of a war,”GHF declared in its statement.
GHF began its operations in Gaza in May, stepping into the humanitarian void created by Hamas’s decades-long exploitation of its own civilian population, smuggling weapons under the cover of humanitarian convoys while blaming Israel for Gaza’s suffering.

Now, in a desperate bid to maintain control and terrorize the population, Hamas has deployed armed operatives near humanitarian zones, seeking to disrupt the only functioning aid delivery system left in Gaza while holding its own civilians hostage.
“Our US security personnel—some of America’s most elite and decorated veterans—are on the ground to protect aid workers and the people of Gaza,” GHF emphasized. “Twelve of our staff have paid the ultimate price for this mission, and now we face daily threats of more violence.”
UN Urged to Stop Ignoring Hamas Terror Against Humanitarians
Last week, GHF issued a powerful call to the United Nations, demanding it publicly condemn Hamas for targeting humanitarian workers and partner with GHF on a new system to deliver food directly to Palestinian families, bypassing the terror group’s extortion and theft.
“The time has come to confront, without euphemism or delay, the structural failure of aid delivery in Gaza,” wrote Rev. Johnnie Moore, GHF’s executive chairman, in a letter delivered to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, first confirmed by the Jerusalem Post.
For years, Hamas has hijacked aid, redirected funds to its terror tunnels, and blamed Israel for the resulting humanitarian crisis. Now, it is executing, torturing, and threatening the very people trying to save Gaza’s civilians, while global institutions often remain silent.
Yesterday, I sent a letter to @UN Secretary General @antonioguterres regarding the work of GHF. Given the importance of the subject, I am also posting the letter publicly, here. We have the same mission, the needs are great & our hand remains extended. We should be collaborating. pic.twitter.com/jkQHrnErjC

A War on Humanitarians
The revelation that Hamas is placing bounties on American security professionals protecting humanitarian convoys underscores how deeply the terror group fears any system that bypasses its control. The group’s willingness to murder Palestinian aid workers further exposes its disregard for Palestinian lives, sacrificing them for propaganda and control rather than peace and prosperity.
While much of the world remains fixated on headlines about ceasefires, Hamas is quietly terrorizing Gaza’s last lifeline of humanitarian aid, hoping to starve civilians into submission while blaming Israel and the West for the chaos it creates.
Gazans continue to flock to the GHF American-Israeli distribution centers in the Gaza Strip. They may be chaotic, but the food is free for all, and, unlike UN aid, is not allocated according to level of affiliation to Hamas.

As the Gaza war grinds on, the world must ask itself: Will it continue to fund, excuse, and enable a regime that kills its own people and those who try to help them—or will it finally stand with the victims of Hamas’s brutality?
