Ex-US Contractor Alleges IDF War Crimes at Gaza Aid Sites; GHF Calls Claims ‘False’

A former American contractor for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has made explosive allegations, claiming he witnessed Israeli soldiers and US contractors commit “war crimes” by using “indiscriminate” force against civilians at aid distribution sites in Gaza. Anthony Aguilar, a former US special forces soldier, detailed his accusations in an interview that aired Friday, describing the aid operations as “criminal” and asserting he had “never witnessed the level of brutality” seen in Gaza at the hands of the IDF and US contractors.

The GHF vehemently rejects Aguilar’s claims, asserting they are “false claims with no basis in reality.” The organization stated that Aguilar was a subcontractor fired over a month ago for “inappropriate behavior” and suggested his interviews are motivated by threats made after his dismissal. The GHF also claims to have evidence suggesting Aguilar may have “forged documents and presented misleading videos to promote his false narrative,” without providing immediate details.

These severe allegations surface as international pressure intensifies over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and ongoing reports of civilian deaths near aid sites. The GHF, which began operations in late May and has distributed over 92 million rations, has been under intense scrutiny, with daily reports of Palestinians killed while seeking assistance. The IDF maintains its soldiers fire “warning shots” to control crowds, while Hamas-run health authorities claim over 1,000 deaths near GHF sites since May. The GHF denies deadly shootings at its sites, alleging Hamas agitators have attacked staff and caused unrest.
