A bus carrying about two dozen GHF workers was raked with gunfire on Wednesday night as it headed to an aid centre in southern Gaza, the foundation said, adding that many of its staff were injured and some might have been kidnapped.
GHF's interim director John Acree said his organisation had considered closing its centres on Thursday following the bus attack, but opted to remain open.
Hamas declined to comment on the shootings.
Abu Shabab released a statement on his Facebook page denouncing images posted on social media showing Gazans allegedly killed by Hamas and as it seeks to maintain power.
RECORD MEAL DISTRIBUTION
It also said it had arrested several Hamas members in Syria overnight, accusing them of planning to attack Israelis.
Despite the bus attack, GHF said it handed out 2.6 million meals on Thursday -- a daily record since it started operations in Gaza at the end of May, overseeing a new model of food distribution that the United Nations says is deeply flawed.
“The UN including @UNRWA has the knowledge, expertise & community trust to provide dignified & safe assistance. Just let the humanitarians do their jobs,“ he added.
Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 180 people have been killed by Israeli fire near the aid centres over the past three weeks, as the aid effort repeatedly degenerated into chaos and terror with locals scrabbling for limited supplies.
Besides the GHF distribution effort, Israel is also letting into Gaza trucks carrying flour for the handful of bakeries that are still operating.
For the first time in months, Israel allowed humanitarian trucks to enter northern Gaza directly overnight -- with 56 lorries carrying supplies from the U.N.'s World Food Programme crossing into the largely devastated region.
