For months, anti-Israel activists widely promoted outrageous lies that Israel was inflicting famine in Gaza and blocking civilians from accessing baby formula.
Israel refuted these accusations repeatedly, and shared the truth about the aid it facilitated into Gaza. There was never a ban on baby food, in fact, thousands of tons of infant nutrition entered the Strip.
But now we know more facts. As Israel surged aid into Gaza, Hamas deliberately stole tons of baby food, infant formula, and children's powdered milk, and hid it in secret warehouses throughout Gaza.
It is the latest evidence of Hamas’ sick, calculated strategy to exact international pressure on Israel by making civilians in Gaza suffer.
A leading Palestinian analyst posted the details on X, revealing new video evidence:
"When countless other Palestinian activists and I from Gaza said this back in July, August, and September, we were villainized, attacked, threatened, and made into pariahs by the 'pro-Palestine' industrial complex and activist mafias, even though for Gazans, the evidence was so clearly apparent before our eyes."
"What those in the West continue to fail to understand is that there is no being pro-Palestine without also having a serious vigilance against Hamas’s continued manipulation of international public opinion to hide behind the Strip's civilian population's suffering, something that the terrorist organization’s own actions have led to and created," he added.
Meanwhile, Israel yesterday helped more than 100 Gazans and their relatives in need of medical care leave the Strip.
"Israel remains fully committed to cooperating with the international community to enable and assist the evacuation of patients and their caregivers," Israel's COGAT humanitarian agency said.
At the same time, Hamas is trying to expand its terror operations beyond Gaza. The IDF and the Shin Bet on Sunday uncovered a Hamas financial network in Turkey, which has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas' leaders and operatives.
Turkey, along with Qatar and Iran, is a key sponsor of Hamas.

Israeli police raid UNRWA offices in Jerusalem
Israeli police raided the offices of UNRWA — the U.N. Agency for Palestinians whose employees participated in Hamas' October 7 massacre — in Jerusalem earlier today.
The offices have been closed since the Israeli Knesset passed a law banning the agency at the beginning of the year.
In a statement, the police said the raid was conducted "as part of a debt-collection procedure," after the lease on the offices ended.
The mission of AIPAC is to encourage and persuade the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.
