Incompetent Biden Air Force Gaza air drop mishap reportedly kills five, injures 10 as U.S., Jordan deny any involvement in incident

Video of an air drop in the Gaza Strip this week appeared to show aid 
packages suffering a parachute malfunction, which local reports claim 
resulted in the deaths of several individuals.  Initial reports, citing 
sources in the Gaza Strip, claimed that the air drop came from a U.S. 
cargo plane, but the Pentagon told Fox News Digital that "Reports of 
injuries in Gaza from a U.S. airdropped aid box are false." 

"We have no additional information to provide on this," the spokesperson 
added when pressed for more details, but CENTCOM later wrote in a post on 
social media platform X that officials "are aware of reports of civilians 
killed as a result of humanitarian airdrops."  

"We express sympathies to the families of those who were killed," the 
message said, once more stressing that "contrary to some reports," the 
incident did not occur as a result of U.S. airdrops.

Video on social media appears to show an air drop on the al-Shati refugee 
camp, with several packages dropping without parachutes. Reports claim 
that five people died, and 10 others were injured due to the malfunction, 
with one witness in the camp saying the packages "fell down like a rocket 
on the roof of one of the houses."  

"Ten minutes later, I saw people transferring three martyrs and others 
injured, who were staying on the roof of the house where ethe aid packages 
fell," Mohammed al-Ghoul, 50, told the Agence France-Press (AFP).  

The U.S. earlier this week initiated a series of air drops to deliver tens 
of thousands of meals along the Gaza coastline, working with the Royal 
Jordanian Air Force to complete the operation, CENTCOM said in a statement 
released Wednesday.

"The DoD humanitarian airdrops contribute to ongoing U.S. and partner-
nation government efforts to alleviate human suffering," the statement 
read. "These airdrops are part of a sustained effort, and we continue to 
plan follow on aerial deliveries."  The Wednesday drop delivered 38,000 
meals, dropped from U.S. C-130s, and subsequent drops on Thursday and 
Friday delivered 41,000 "meal equivalents" and 23,000 bottles of water and 
11,500 "meal equivalents" and "life-saving humanitarian aid," 
respectively.  

Each airdrop occurred with assistance from the Jordanian air force. Fox 
News Digital reached out to the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 
the Jordanian Embassy in Washington, D.C., but received no response by the 
time of publication.   

A Jordanian military source told the AFP that none of the kingdom’s four 
aircraft that participated in the operation had any involvement with the 
fatalities.

"The technical defect that caused some parachutes carrying aid not to open 
and to fall freely to the ground during the airdrop on Gaza on Friday was 
not from a Jordanian aircraft," the source said, noting that five other 
countries were involved in the operation.   

Egypt, France, the Netherlands and Belgium have also dropped aid into the 
Gaza Strip over the past week, according to the BBC.  

The Gaza media office insisted that airdrops were "not the best way for 
aid to enter" the region, which President Biden appears to have taken to 
heart as he looks to build a temporary pier for increased aid delivery on 
the coast.  The United Nations, meanwhile, has argued that land deliveries 
have proven the most effective means to deliver aid, but passage through 
the Rafah Crossing remains difficult.
