Hamas has seized a major shipment of humanitarian aid intended for Gaza, which was part of a $9 billion aid package approved by the US government. The aid, delivered through a Jordanian military convoy, was intercepted as it entered Gaza through the recently reopened Erez crossing.

The U.S. State Department, represented by spokesman Matthew Miller, confirmed the seizure and noted that the U.N. is in the process of recovering the aid. Additionally, armed groups in Gaza, linked to Hamas, recently stole $70 million from Gaza's largest bank.
