IDF report: Hamas orchestrated a timed hunger campaign to discredit Israel and achieve political gains.

A thread🧵:
Since the beginning of July 2025, and in proximity to the ongoing negotiations, there has been a consistent rise in the number of alleged malnutrition-related deaths reported by Hamas’ Ministry of Health.
By June 2025, a total of 66 cases of residents who died from malnutrition had been reported for the entire duration of the war, whereas in July alone, more than 133 residents were reported to have died from malnutrition.
Despite the allegedly high number of deaths in July, Hamas’ Ministry of Health did not publish their details as it had done in the past.
For example, on July 19, 2025, Hamas reported 18 deaths from malnutrition, and on July 22, 2025, a further 15 deaths. However, an in-depth analysis of various networks reveals only a handful of actual cases.
The discrepancy and gaps between the numerical reports and the individual published cases cast doubt on their credibility.
Most of the deceased suffered from pre-existing medical conditions that contributed to the deterioration of their health, unrelated to nutritional status.
The documented cases do not represent the overall condition of the population in Gaza but instead selectively present extreme cases preceded by underlying illnesses.
COGAT: “The examination conducted by the Israeli security establishment together with medical professionals determined that there are no signs indicating a widespread phenomenon of malnutrition among the population in Gaza.
Hamas is exploiting tragic images for the purpose of a false propaganda campaign, using it as a timed pressure tactic aimed at applying pressure and generating negative public opinion against the State of Israel.”
