IDF says over 450 packages of food and medical aid were distributed through 21 airdrops to the Gaza Strip in recent weeks in coordination with Jordan, France, the UAE and Egypt.
Mar 3, 2024, 11:23 AM (GMT+2) – The IDF announced that it has coordinated 21 airdrops of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip over the least few weeks.
“Yesterday (Saturday), In coordination with the IDF, U.S. Central Command and the Royal Jordanian Air Force conducted a combined humanitarian assistance airdrop into Gaza,” the IDF’s Spokesperson’s Unit stated.
“Additionally, over the past few weeks, in cooperation and coordination with several countries; Jordan, France, the UAE and Egypt, more than 450 packages of food and medical aid were distributed through 21 airdrops to the Gaza Strip.”
IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said: “We will continue expanding our humanitarian efforts to the civilian population in Gaza while we fulfill our goals of freeing our hostages from Hamas and freeing Gaza from Hamas.”

We want to be considered ‘a nation amongst nations’ and not to be hated because we are Jews. (Our own Jews in IINO, are a thorn in our sides, as well!) Please love us, world! We want to be loved more than anything else. See how we refuse to decimate those who are at war with us? We refuse to win this war! Isn’t that worth at least a hug? Give us a hug world, for how ethical and humane we are. We have our heads up our ass for you, world! PLEASE love us! Pretty please?]
What Happened During Gaza’s Stampede Is Nothing New BY HUGH FITZGERALD
MAR 2, 2024 2:00 PM – Many political leaders, and much of the world’s media, have uncritically accepted Hamas’ claim that the IDF is responsible for the deaths of 104 Gazans on February 29 at a site where a convoy of more on 30 aid trucks was trying to make its way to a distribution point, when thousands of Gazans swarmed over the trucks, trying to loot them and carry off their cargo of food aid: “US blocks Security Council motion blaming Israel for deadly Gaza aid convoy incident,” Times of Israel, March 1, 2024:
“German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Israel “must fully investigate how the mass panic and shooting could have happened.”
At least the German Foreign Minister did not call, as her French analogue did, for an “independent inquiry.” That means the Germans trust Israel to conduct, by itself, an exhaustive investigation whose results can be trusted.
The White House said on Thursday that the incident in Gaza City was “tremendously alarming,” as Israel shared drone footage of troops’ attempts to disperse the swelling mob, denying responsibility for the mass deaths amid international criticism of its Gaza offensive….
It’s important for everyone to calm down, stop all the excited finger-pointing at the IDF, resist the temptation to jump on the anti-Israel juggernaut, and instead to ask simply for a thorough investigation to be conducted by the Jewish state. Israel doesn’t need to be told to investigate the deaths of Palestinians at the site of the 30 aid trucks that the IDF was escorting to northern Gaza. That investigation is underway. Meanwhile, everyone should wait for the IDF report to be completed, instead of credulously repeating the Hamas version.
Both the White House and State Department expressed horror over what occurred and indicated that they would demand answers from Israel.
“This latest event needs to be thoroughly investigated,” White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton told reporters on Air Force One. “This event underscores the need for… expanded humanitarian aid to make its way into Gaza.”
“Demand answers from Israel”? That is not how you talk about one of your closest allies. What the Bidenites should have said is that “we are waiting to receive a full report on the incident from the IDF. We understand that they are close to completing their investigation.”
Israel Did Not Target Civilians at Aid Distribution Site BY HUGH FITZGERALD
MAR 2, 2024 4:00 PM – Political leaders and the world’s media have claimed that the IDF is responsible for the deaths of 104 Gazans on February 29 at a site where a convoy of more on 30 aid trucks was trying to make its way to a distribution point: “US blocks Security Council motion blaming Israel for deadly Gaza aid convoy incident,” Times of Israel, March 1, 2024:
The US spokesman said the rush for aid showed the situation was “incredibly desperate” in Gaza, where the United Nations has warned of the risk of famine. “People are swarming these trucks because they’re hungry, because they need food, because they need medicine and other assistance,” he said.
But it’s also true, judging by the record over the last 30 years of stampedes leading to mass deaths, that Muslim Arabs show themselves to be particularly susceptible to such panicky behavior.
Speaking in English in a Thursday evening press conference, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that troops had fired warning shots in an attempt to disperse the mob of Palestinians [from attacking the IDF soldiers].
“As these vital humanitarian supplies made their way toward Gazans in need, thousands of Gazans [rushed] the trucks, some began violently pushing and trampling other Gazans to death, looting the humanitarian supplies.
“No IDF strike was conducted toward the aid convoy,” Hagari said. “On the contrary, the IDF was there carrying out a humanitarian aid operation, to secure the humanitarian corridor, and allow the aid convoy to reach its distribution point, so that the humanitarian aid could reach Gazan civilians in the north who are in need.”
The IDF spokesperson denied that Israel was blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid. “This humanitarian aid was coordinated by Israel, for the people of Gaza. We want the aid to reach the people of Gaza. We are working around the clock to make this happen. Israel puts no limits on the amount of aid that can go into Gaza,” he said.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan accused Israel of targeting civilians in the incident. In separate statements, they called for increased safe passages for humanitarian aid. They also urged the international community to take decisive action to pressure Israel to abide by international law and to reach an agreement for an immediate ceasefire.
Israel did not “target civilians” as a group. As some Gazans moved menacingly toward the IDF soldiers, those soldiers fired warning shots. When some of the Gazans continued toward the soldiers, at that point the IDF did shoot directly at them. The IDF estimates that fewer than ten were killed by being shot. Close to 100 died in the crush of people assaulting the 30 aid trucks.

Israel has reportedly agreed to a temporary cease-fire framework; Hamas expected to respond Sunday
The deal, as it reportedly stands, would include a six-week ceasefire with Hamas releasing hostages considered at risk, according to the U.S. official.
March 2, 2024 – Israel has reportedly agreed to a framework for a temporary cease-fire accompanied by a hostage release in Gaza, following weeks of negotiations.
The Israelis have “more or less accepted” the framework, according to an anonymous senior U.S. official who spoke to The Associated Press Saturday. Talks are expected to continue Sunday in Egypt, where attention is turned to Hamas to see if they will agree to the terms.
The deal, as it reportedly stands, would include a six-week ceasefire with Hamas releasing hostages considered at risk, according to the U.S. official. It would also include increased humanitarian aid for residents of Gaza, according to The Hill.
On Saturday the U.S. joined other countries in air-dropping bundles of aid into Gaza. Hamas is expected to respond to the proposed deal on Sunday, though few details are known.
