[Ynet News] Roee Nahmias - Hamas operatives have seized control of supplies passing through the Gaza border crossings - including those sent by Israel and international organizations. Supplies intended to be distributed among the population are seized by Hamas and then sold to the residents. On Monday a convoy of trucks carrying supplies through the Kerem Shalom crossing was fired upon and seized by Hamas gunmen. Similar incidents occurred with trucks carrying fuel. Complaints state that Hamas gunmen pull children along with them "by the ears" from place to place for protection from the IDF. Others hide in civilian homes and stairwells, UNRWA ambulances, and mosques.
