Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said that the IDF would continue to facilitate humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians, who he said were taken captive by Hamas.

Seven humanitarian aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Thursday through a security fence, the IDF announced Friday afternoon.

The entrance of the trucks was facilitated by the Coordination and Liaison Administration to Gaza (COGAT) and was secured by IDF soldiers. 

The aid packages, sent by the World Food Program, were closely inspected at the Kerem Shalom Crossing, the IDF added.

The IDF confirmed that it planned to continue to allow and facilitate the entrance of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip by land, air, and sea in accordance with international law.
