Throughout the war and long before it, Hamas exploited @UNRWA infrastructure. The intelligence gathered shows Hamas systematically uses UNRWA's vehicles, warehouses, and even the agency's headquarters, as headquarters, accommodations, and weapons depots.
🧵 of examples:
1/6👇
A document from Feb. 22' named "The 2022 Deployment Plan of the Third Battalion,” had a list of each operative's position, his weapon and the number of soldiers. The list had 2 @UNRWA schools: The Al-ris and the Al-Zahraa' schools, which contained 8 operatives with weapons.

A 2014 document titled "The Defense Plan of the Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj Battalion" shows emergency positions and personnel assigned to each. @UNRWA schools Asaad Al-Zaftawi and Fahmi Al-Jarjaou are on the list. The presence of an arms depot adjacent to one of them is noted.

We've seen this pattern again and again: Hamas uses medical facilities like Shifa, Nasser, and others as command centers, weapons storage, and hideouts for terrorists. 2/5
Since the start of the war and over the last few months, a series of blatant falshoods are spread regarding supposed banning of essential humanitarian items into Gaza. It’s time to set the records straight.
Read this thread and repost🧵

Completely False. We have facilitated 29,000 tons of medical equipment, medicines and medical supplies. All medicines can enter Gaza, including insulin and anesthesia.
2/9》》》
WRONG.
Over 90,000 tons of shelter equipment, including over 280,000 tents, have entered Gaza. We have also been working proactively for months to coordinate entrance of more tents and other essential shelter equipment in preparation for the winter season.

A new @theIPCinfo publication just dropped. Read this thread if you heard famine is imminent in northern Gaza:
🧵🧵🧵
Firstly: to date, all projections by the IPC have proven incorrect and inconsistent with the situation on the ground, with the IPC reports consistently predicting deterioration and then reporting improvement. Unfortunately, this is because the researchers continue to rely on partial, biased data and superficial sources with vested interests.
1/15》
The IPC reports have been systematically based on organizations with vested interests and partial, inaccurate knowledge, significantly undermining the document's credibility.
Israel published detailed documents on the factual and methodological problems in the two previous reports. No response was ever given.
2/15》》》
Also according to the IPC reports until October there was a consistent improvement trend in the food security situation in Gaza. According to the latest report, as of the beginning of Oct, the situation (including in the north) was the best since the beginning of the war.

IPC food security snapshot publication: what you need to know🧵🧵🧵
Bottom line: Although the IPC's reports on Gaza were characterized by bias and methodological failures (as explained in detail in the response documents published on the @IsraelMFA website), the new report, like its predecessor from June, clearly points to an improving trend in the food security situation in Gaza. gov.il/en/pages/the-t…
This is, in fact, the first time since the start of the war that the IPC reports on a decline in percentage of Gaza Strip residents classified at phase 3 (“Crisis”) or above.
Moreover, a significant decline in the population classified at phase 5 (“Catastrophe”) was also reported in relation to the three preceding reports.
This will not stop those parading around screaming "there is a famine in Gaza" to continue spreading their lies.
This improvement represents, among other factors, the various measures Israel took to facilitate more than adequate humanitarian aid. This is despite the logistics constraints the UN aid agencies operate under, and the funneling of aid by Hamas.

And in northern Gaza as well - we see an improvement in the number of people in levels 4 and 5.

So many lies and falshoods, where should we begin? Let's break it down:
🧵🧵 🧵
Claim: "Israel blocks up to 83% of food aid to Gaza."
Fact: This is false. Over 1 MILLION tons of aid on over 51,000 trucks entered Gaza since the start of the war. Over 37,000 tons entered in September alone. Only 467 trucks (less than 1%) were denied after security inspection due to serious security reasons regarding dual-use items that Hamas could exploit.
1》
Claim: "65% of required insulin and 50% of blood supplies unavailable."
Fact: We facilitate a steady supply of medical aid, including insulin and blood units, into Gaza. Challenges arise from Hamas's diversion of medical resources, not supply issues. Israel continues to facilitate entry of as much humanitarian aid as possible according to the request of the international organization and partners.
2》
Claim: "Only 15% of hygiene products are available."
Fact: We facilitate the entry of aid deliveries, including hygiene supplies, on an ongoing basis. Israel does not decide which supply to introduce - the international organizations do. Over the last 2 months, close to 3,000 tons of hygiene products entered Gaza.
