The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have made a shocking announcement: a massive bag of ammunition was found hidden inside a shipment of humanitarian aid moving within the Gaza strip.
Pro-Israel activists have consistently highlighted the fact that humanitarian aid sent to Gaza was being stolen by Hamas to be given to terrorists, but actually hiding ammunition for terrorists inside humanitarian aid is even more shocking.

In a statement released on Monday, the IDF explained that the shocking discovery came after they witnessed “unusual movement” in an international humanitarian aid convoy that had been stopped at a security check.
“Yesterday (Sunday), during the passage of a convoy coordinated with the international community and monitored by the IDF, unusual movement was detected,” the statement began. “The convoy was stopped for a security check at a checkpoint along the Humanitarian Route between northern and southern Gaza. During the inspection, IDF troops discovered a bag containing ammunition for firearms.”
The statement went on to note that IDF soldiers had taken the individuals involved in the ammunition smuggling into custody which included members of the convoy. These Hamas suppliers “were then transferred to security forces for further investigation. Inquiries were also made with the relevant organization.”
“It is important to note that this was an internal convoy traveling inside the Gaza Strip from the north to the south, and not through the crossings designated for bringing humanitarian aid into Gaza,” the statement concluded.
The IDF also shared an image of the discovery in a post on X:

This news comes as both Hamas and Israel have reportedly begun planning an end to the war in Gaza in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory. The Biden-Harris administration has been funding both sides of the conflict, while Trump has remained a staunchly anti-war candidate — though he does support Israel’s right to self-defense — so his impending return to the White House has prompted a sudden shift in the pro-war politics around the world and in Washington, D.C.
The Israel-Hamas war isn’t the only foreign conflict that is simmering down following Trump’s election, as both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war are also reportedly expressing a desire for peace, and the Iran-backed Houthis terrorist group has also declared a ceasefire.
Donald Trump has been the President-Elect for not even two days:
– Steve Madden is halting manufacturing in China by half in a yr
– Hamas calls for an end to the war in the Middle East
– The Iran backed Houthis announced a ceasefire.
