The Israeli military on Sunday accused Hamas of spreading ‘rumors, fake news’ and trying to “bluntly and violently” stop Palestinians in Gaza from reaching aid distribution sites. IDF Spokesperson Effie Defrin’s message was released the same day that witnesses say at least 31 people were killed and over 170 wounded while on their way to receive food. Meanwhile, The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is backed by Israel and the U.S., said its distribution of aid in the Gaza Strip passed “without incident” on Sunday.
