The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) published a drone video over the weekend showing what it said were suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck in the southern Gaza Strip on Friday.
The incident occurred while US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, was in Israel as an official guest of IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.
In a statement, CENTCOM said the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) which is based in southern Israels Kiryat Gat observed suspected Hamas operatives looting an aid truck traveling as part of a humanitarian convoy delivering needed assistance from international partners to Gazans in northern Khan Younis.

The CMCC was alerted to the incident through video surveillance from an American MQ-9 drone flying over Gaza as part of monitoring the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
