Gaza health officials report 18 people killed by Israeli gunfire on August 2, 2025, including eight civilians waiting for food near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution centers . Witnesses describe chaos and looting as desperation for aid intensifies. Hamas condemned U.S. envoy visits to GHF sites as “staged shows,” rejecting disarmament narratives pushed by Israel and its allies . The group reaffirmed it will not disarm without establishment of an independent Palestinian state—directly challenging Israeli and international demands in stalled hostage and ceasefire talks.
