Two American veterans working with the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) were injured in an attack while distributing aid to Palestinians. The two veterans are reportedly receiving medical treatment and are in stable condition. GHF said the Americans were «highly decorated» veterans.
«GHF has repeatedly warned of credible threats from Hamas, including explicit plans to target American personnel, Palestinian aid workers, and the civilians who rely on our sites for food. Today’s attack tragically affirms those warnings,» the organization wrote on X.
GHF vowed that it was still committed to the mission of delivering aid to Gazans even in the face of violent attacks.

The organization later posted an image of grenade fragments left over from the attack, showing the weapons were packed with ball bearings. GHF said that after throwing the grenades the two assailants ran into a crowd of civilians. According to GHF Executive Chairman Rev. Johnnie Moore, the grenades were found to be of Iranian origin and have been «commonly used by Hamas.»
«I am sorry to say also that today’s terror attack on Americans is partly a byproduct of the legitimacy that many in the press and at the [U.N.] provide to Hamas —amplifying Hamas’s lies about GHF every day, but also actively collaborating with Hamas,» Moore wrote on X.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee condemned the attack, saying that «With Hamas no good deed goes unpunished.»

PEOPLE IN GAZA ARE THANKING TRUMP FOR AID, LEADER OF US-BACKED GROUP SAYS
«The Hamas terrorist organization and other terrorist groups in Gaza continue efforts to sabotage and fail the distribution of humanitarian aid at the distribution sites and on the way to them,» IDF International Spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani wrote in a statement. «IDF troops facilitated a safe evacuation for further medical treatment. The Hamas terrorist organization and other terrorist groups in Gaza continue to harm the Gazan civilians.»
GHF slammed the international community over its silence on the threats and violence against its aid workers.
«For weeks, we warned this would happen. We asked the aid community to condemn threats. They stayed silent. We asked the media to stop laundering Hamas lies. They kept printing. Today, Hamas followed through by attacking American veterans with grenades as they delivered food. The silence is deafening. At what point is allowing Hamas to terrorize aid workers and run a propaganda campaign through Western media no longer acceptable?»

The attack comes just one week after the organization said that Hamas put bounties on the heads of its workers, American and Palestinian alike. According to GHF, Hamas was offering money to anyone who killed or injured one of the organization’s aid workers.
«We are aware of credible reports that Hamas is openly targeting the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and those who work with us. According to these reports, Hamas has placed bounties on both our American security personnel and Palestinian aid workers, offering cash rewards to anyone who injures or kills them,» GHF told Fox News Digital.
«The targets of Hamas’ brutality are heroes who are simply trying to feed the people of Gaza in the middle of a war.»
As of July 4, GHF said it had delivered 60 million meals since it began distributing aid in May.

FBI fires a dozen after Biden-era subpoenas of Patel, Wiles come to light

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
At least a dozen FBI employees were fired amid revelations the bureau under the Biden administration allegedly subpoenaed Kash Patel and Susie Wiles’ phone records in 2022 and 2023 as part of a federal probe into then-former President Donald Trump.
More than 10 FBI employees were fired Wednesday, and at least two more FBI employees were terminated Friday, Fox News has learned.
The FBI allegedly subpoenaed Patel’s and Wiles’ records in 2022 and 2023 while they were private citizens.
Patel now serves as the director of the FBI, and Wiles serves as the White House chief of staff.
The names of the fired bureau employees were not shared due to privacy reasons, and the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) criticized the firings earlier in the week.

«The FBIAA condemns today’s unlawful termination of FBI special agents, which — like other firings by Director Patel — violates the due process rights of those who risk their lives to protect our country,» the organization said in a statement.
JACK SMITH TRACKED PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS, CALLS OF NEARLY A DOZEN GOP SENATORS DURING J6 PROBE, FBI SAYS
«These actions weaken the bureau by stripping away critical expertise and destabilizing the workforce, undermining trust in leadership and jeopardizing the Bureau’s ability to meet its recruitment goals, ultimately putting the nation at greater risk.»
Reuters first disclosed the subpoenas, which were issued during the Biden administration while special counsel Jack Smith was investigating Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
Smith ended up charging Trump in 2023 with multiple felony offenses related to alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election and Trump’s handling of the documents after he left office.

A federal judge later dismissed the election interference case after Smith moved to drop it following Trump’s re-election, citing a Justice Department policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

Smith also dropped the Justice Department’s appeal of a separate ruling that dismissed the classified documents case. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in both matters.
In a statement to Fox News Wednesday, Patel called the move to seize the phone records «outrageous and deeply alarming.»
«It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,» he said.
The FBI said it discovered the information in the bureau’s newly discovered «prohibited case file.»

Patel also said he recently ended the FBI’s ability to categorize files as «prohibited.»
Fox News also learned from two FBI officials that, in 2023, FBI agents allegedly recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney.
According to those officials, Wiles’ attorney was aware the call was being recorded and consented, but Wiles was not informed.
Wiles’ 2023 attorney disputes those claims.
«If I ever pulled a stunt like that I wouldn’t — and shouldn’t — have a license to practice law,» the unidentified attorney said, according to Axios. «I’m as shocked as Susie.»
Smith testified in 2025 that records of members’ calls helped investigators verify the timeline of events surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

He said prosecutors «followed all legal requirements in getting those records» and told a House panel the records obtained from lawmakers did not include the content of conversations.
