From: The Australian June 1, 2025 The willingness of even Western journalists to report the most ridiculous anti-Israeli propaganda. Media’s useful idiots embolden Hamas.
From: Reuters June 1, 2025 GHF noted: "untrue and fabricated," GHF proves IDF did not shoot at innocent Gazans at aid distribution sites
News channels such as CNN and BBC still have false reports of "31 Gazans killed by IDF fire" as their headlines, despite GHF's video evidence. While some media outlets have reported these allegations, others have contacted the organization to verify the facts, the GHF stated.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation GHF distribution center in Rafah denied on Sunday claims that the IDF attacked a food distribution point near Rafah, contradicting widely circulated Hamas reports.
Security camera footage from Sunday's aid distribution site shows calm civilian activity, with no incidents reported. Aid was delivered without disruption, and the available evidence does not support claims of injuries or fatalities.
Hamas accused Israeli forces of opening fire on civilians, but Israel and the organisation running the aid distribution sites rejected those claims and blamed Hamas for the chaos.
The IDF on Sunday denied the reports it fired at civilians near a humanitarian aid distribution site in Gaza, calling the allegations false based on an initial investigation.
The IDF emphasized its cooperation with GHF and international aid groups to ensure aid reaches Gaza’s residents — not Hamas. The military accused Hamas of deliberately obstructing food distribution, harming civilians, and using starvation as a tool to maintain control.
The IDF also urged media outlets to verify information carefully, warning against reliance on Hamas-sourced claims.
Unrelated incident: An IDF source reportedly clarified that during the night, roughly one kilometer from the humanitarian aid distribution area and outside its operating hours, troops took action to prevent several suspects from approaching their position. Evasive fire was allegedly directed at individuals advancing toward the forces.
The military stressed that this incident is entirely unrelated to the false allegations of IDF fire at civilians near the aid site, according to the source.
