EXCLUSIVE: @realDailyWire has obtained evidence that challenges ex-Gaza Humanitarian Foundation contractor Tony Aguilar’s viral claim that a Gazan boy named Amir was killed by the IDF on May 28.

Long thread time 👇

First, a review of body cam footage of an American security contractor standing next to Aguilar shows a very different interaction than what has been described by Aguilar in the media.

According to Aguilar, he told the boy, “People care. You're a human being, and people care about you,” before kneeling down, placing his hands on the sides of Amir’s face, and receiving a kiss from him and an English "thank you."

Aguilar on a recent podcast: “He sets his food down, and he places his hands on my face — on the side of my face, on my cheeks — these frail, skeleton, emaciated hands, dirty. And he puts them on my face, and he kissed me. He kissed me, and he said, ‘Thank you,’ in English. Thank you. And he collected his items, and he walked back to the group, and then he was shot at with pepper spray and tear gas and stun grenades and bullets — shot at his feet and in the air — and he runs away, scared.”

In the new footage, Amir is seen walking up to the man with the body cam and kissing his hand. He then turns to Tony, and asks for assistance with getting the crowd to let them take food. Tony then touches the boy’s shoulders and chest.

“This little young man here, obviously pretty young, he has food,” Aguilar says while recording his video. “Go home, go home, okay? Thank you.”

The little boy then walks away into the crowd.

Aguilar confirmed that the time frame in both videos is the extent of the interaction.

The contractor wearing the body cam told The Daily Wire that Aguilar’s story is “fabricated.”

"There is no profound English dialog, kneeling at his level, nor does the boy drop his aid to kiss Tony and say ‘thank you’ to him in English."

NEXT: In a video interview exclusively obtained by The Daily Wire, the alleged stepmother, Siham al-Jarabe’a, disputes Aguilar’s timeline.

She says her stepson went missing not on May 28, but on July 28 — around the time Aguilar first went public with the story and began sharing photos of Amir.

“July 28 is the last time you saw the boy? Today is August 5,” the Arabic-speaking interviewer says to al-Jarabe'a. The Arabic interview’s translation into English has been independently verified by The Daily Wire.

“Yes,” she replied.

“So almost a week ago?”

“Yes.”

Aguilar’s story greatly confused al-Jarabe’a, who does not own a phone with an internet connection and said she first saw his footage about two days after her son went missing.

She says she has been desperately searching morgues and hospitals to find Amir.

Until the interview filmed with her on August 5, she believed that Aguilar mixed up his dates and actually took the footage in July instead of May. Aguilar’s work with GHF ended in June, when he was terminated by the security contractor staffing aid sites “due to poor performance, volatile conflicts with staff, and erratic behavior.”

“The American made a mistake by saying he saw the boy May 15,” the grieving mother said, mixing up the May dates. “This is from two months ago. No, the boy went to the Americans on July 28.”

When she is told Aguilar’s photo is from May, she denies it, affirming that the footage must have been taken on July 28, the day her son went missing.

“I tell you that this picture that was on the news, was not from July 28,” the interviewer says, showing a picture of Amir.

“No, it was July 28," she replied.

Al-Jarabe'a said that she left Amir at home at 6AM on July 28 and went to a GHF site for aid. When she returned home, Amir was missing. Two days later, she saw Aguilar’s footage from May and thought he was the last person to see her son.

Al-Jarabe'a has also gone on other outlets that have not shared footage questioning her on when exactly her son went missing.

We blurred her face for her own protection from terrorists.

There are many more details poking holes in Aguilar’s story in my exclusive report for @realDailyWire — including the location and even the boy’s name being incorrect.
