Original: Israel confirms: Hamas extorts Gaza merchants, demands NIS 10,000 per aid truck
Israel says Hamas is extorting merchants in Gaza, demanding 10,000 shekels per truck carrying humanitarian aid entering the territory. The accusation, issued by Israeli authorities, portrays armed taxation of aid convoys as a funding source for the group. It is likely to fuel debate over aid delivery mechanisms and calls for oversight of distribution inside Gaza.
Why now: The claim affects ongoing international discussions about humanitarian aid access and funding in Gaza.
