Another Whistleblower Describes “Indiscriminate” Israeli Violence Against Gaza Aid Seekers

HeadlineApr 14, 2026

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli attacks killed at least six Palestinians on Monday in the latest violations of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that was supposed to have taken effect last October. Meanwhile, a second whistleblower has stepped forward with disturbing details about his time as a contractor with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the former U.S.- and Israeli-backed organization whose aid distribution centers were condemned by Doctors Without Borders as sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanization.” In his first interview since returning from Gaza, the contractor, David McIntosh, tells Drop Site News he witnessed Israeli soldiers indiscriminately gunning down Palestinians seeking aid, including children. He also witnessed Israelis using stray dogs for target practice and firing dangerously close to — or directly at — the GHF contractors themselves. Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that between May and October of 2025, over 2,600 Palestinians were killed and more than 19,000 wounded at or near aid distribution sites and U.N. convoys.
