Authorities in Gaza on Friday accused the Israeli occupation of smuggling narcotic pills into the besieged Strip through foreign aid shipments, warning that the act constitutes a “heinous crime” against the Palestinian people.

In an official statement, the Government Media Office in Gaza revealed that drug tablets were discovered hidden inside flour bags distributed at US-Israeli-run aid distribution centers. The office condemned the move as a direct assault on the Palestinian population, aimed at “destroying the social fabric and spreading addiction among civilians.”

'Israel' runs organized crime network

“These pills were found during meticulous inspections of aid bags that entered Gaza,” the statement read, emphasizing that the materials were smuggled under the guise of humanitarian relief amid an active war and public health crisis. “This is a deliberate attempt to dismantle society from within.”

The Government Media Office held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the introduction of the “toxic and narcotic substances,” and called on international organizations to immediately investigate the orchestrated crime against a besieged civilian population.

Authorities in Gaza also issued a public advisory, urging citizens to inspect all food items received from suspect aid centers and report any foreign or suspicious substances found in packaging.

'Israel' admits to targeting civilians

Haaretz reported Friday that officers and soldiers in the Israeli forces admitted receiving direct orders to open fire on Palestinians gathered near aid distribution centers.

According to the report, the soldiers acknowledged that the Palestinians they targeted were unarmed and posed no threat.

This comes as Gaza’s Health Ministry released its daily casualty toll, recording 72 martyrs and 174 wounded in the past 24 hours alone.

Many victims remain trapped under the rubble or in roads inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams, due to the intensity of the ongoing Israeli bombardment.

Since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, the total number of Palestinian martyrs has reached 56,331, with 132,632 wounded. As of March 18, 2025, alone, Gaza has recorded 6,008 martyrs and 20,591 injuries.

Weaponization of food in Gaza constitutes war crime: UN

According to the UN and Gaza’s Health Ministry, 549 people have been killed and more than 4,066 have been injured while trying to access food aid as of June 25. With Gaza’s death toll surpassing 56,000, aid deliveries remain dangerously obstructed. The collapse of water systems now threatens widespread drought and famine.

The UN human rights office also warned on Tuesday that the weaponization of food distribution in Gaza could amount to a war crime. The statement comes amid growing international criticism of the new aid distribution model operated by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Speaking at a press briefing in Geneva, UN human rights office spokesperson Thameen al-Kheetan described the current system as "Israel’s militarized humanitarian assistance mechanism," stressing its deadly consequences for civilians in desperate need of relief.
