If such confrontations were seriously disrupting aid distribution, we would likely see many more examples. A handful of videos—or the testimony of a few individuals—does not meet the standard required to conclude that all food shortages in Gaza are due to diversion by Hamas.

The truck in the first video is being attacked by a large crowd. The police may be trying to prevent chaos. The claim that operatives later took the food away from the public is not supported by the current video.
