Terror in Gaza: Hamas offers bounties to kill US and local aid workers, group says

According to GHF, Hamas is offering monetary rewards to anyone who kills or injures the organization's workers.

"We are aware of credible reports that Hamas is openly targeting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and those who work with us. According to these reports, Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers, offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them," GHF said in a statement provided exclusively to Fox News Digital.

"The targets of Hamas' brutality are heroes who are simply trying to feed the people of Gaza in the middle of a war."

Earlier this month, Hamas launched a deadly attack on GHF workers, leaving 12 dead. The organization said Hamas also tortured others. The victims were local workers, according to GHF.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee issued a statement on the alleged bounties and criticized the United Nations' silence on Hamas brutality.

In response to Huckabee's statement, Rev. Johnnie Moore, GHF executive chairman, wrote in his own post on X that reports of the Hamas bounties are based on "new and credible information received today."

GHF is demanding the international community break its silence on Hamas' treatment of the organization's local workers and the American security personnel, many of whom are U.S. veterans.

"Hamas, through these violent and escalating threats, is showing the world it prefers chaos and starvation to peace and aid," GHF wrote. "We call on international leaders and aid groups to stand with us and with the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza, who show up to our sites every day in defiance of Hamas' threats and brutality, deserve it."

"We call on other countries to also support the GHF, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and its critical work," State Department spokesperson Tommy Piggot said in a briefing June 26.
