COGAT categorically rejects the @theIPCinfo Gaza report, including the claim of famine in the Gaza Strip, and particularly in Gaza City.
Previous reports and assessments by the IPC have repeatedly been proven inaccurate and do not reflect the reality on the ground. The report deliberately disregards data that was provided to its authors in a meeting held prior to its publication, and completely overlooks the efforts made in recent weeks to stabilize the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), MG Ghassan Alian:
"The IPC report is based on partial and unreliable sources, many of them affiliated with Hamas, and blatantly ignores the facts and the extensive humanitarian efforts led by the State of Israel and its international partners. Instead of providing a professional, neutral, and responsible assessment, the report adopts a biased approach riddled with severe methodological flaws, thereby undermining its credibility and the trust the international community is able to place in it. We expect the international community to act responsibly and not be swept away by false narratives and unfounded propaganda, but rather to examine the complete data and the facts on the ground."
๐ฏSTRUCK: A Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the area of Deir Kifa in southern Lebanon.
The presence of the weapons storage facility is a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
The IDF will continue to operate in order to remove any threat towards Israel and its civilians.
