The decision was made to strengthen the safety of the sites while Hamas doubles his propaganda efforts.
The decisive measure to strengthen the safety of the sites while Hamas doubles his propaganda efforts. The expert Elisa Garfagna: “By exploiting the speed of social media and the susceptibility of international public opinion, the terrorist group lashes an all -field media attack”.
There Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has communicated that today its aid distribution points will remain closed, to allow the organization – supported by the United States and Israel – to complete the logistical activities necessary to welcome a greater number of people. The suspension day will also serve the Israeli defense forces (IDF) to prepare safer access routes to the distribution centers, in view of the resumption of the operations scheduled for Thursday. This was stated by a GHF representative, explaining that for the third consecutive day, accidents with numerous deaths among the Palestinian civilians near the sites have occurred. Even a spokesman for the IDF, in Arabic, issued a note by notifying that Palestinians are temporarily prohibited circular along the roads that lead to the rescue points, as they are considered active combat areas.
Another spokesman for the GHF referred to the “Times of Israel” that the organization is collaborating with the IDFs to strengthen safety measures even outside the direct perimeter of its distribution centers. Among the requests made by GHF include: the introduction of protocols to regulate the movement of civilians on foot, in order to reduce the minimum confusion and potential escalations near the areas controlled by the IDFs; the definition of more explicit guidelines by the army to facilitate safe access of the Palestinians to the delivery points; The improvement of the training of Israeli troops and the revision of internal procedures to increase the protection of the population. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the IDFs opened fire against Palestinian groups who had approached the military deviating from the previously authorized path to access the distribution point of Rafah.
According to health sources related to Hamas, Sunday clashes caused 31 deaths and 170 injured; On Monday the victims would have been three and 35 wounded; On Tuesday, however, there are 27 deaths and 90 injured. However, these figures have not been confirmed independently and, Tuesday, the IDF accused Hamas to deliberately exaggerate the numbers. It is increasingly evident that Hamas, in growing difficulty in the military level, deliberately trying to destabilize the operations of theGaza Humanitarian Foundation. For the jihadist organization, the control of the distribution of humanitarian aid represents a crucial element in its own domain strategy on the population, which continues to demand the exit of the armed group of the Muslim brotherhood from the strip.
Cause disorders or even open fire on civilians during the delivery of food packages – as happened last Sunday – thus becomes a means to consolidate that little power that remains. However, this type of manipulation could not work without the complicit support of most of the international media, which are limited to relaunching the versions provided by Hamas or Al Jazeera in real time, without any critical filter. But how does Hamas’ fake news machine work? We ask Elisa Garfagna Communication expert: «Hamas, twenty -one months after the start of the conflict, has perfected his propaganda war machine. By exploiting the speed of social media and the susceptibility of international public opinion, the terrorist group lashes an all -out media attack. These are not simple manipulations of videos or images; There is a network of activists and bots dedicated to the massive diffusion of false narratives. Videos taken by other conflicts, archival photos, even video games scenes are passed off as current Israeli attacks, sowing unscrupulous disinformation. Hamasmoreover, he made himself responsible for the systematic looting of humanitarian aid intended for the most indigent, depriving the Palestinian population of vital resources. When the inevitable victims occur then, they are cynically transformed into propaganda weapons against Israel. Internal manuals of the group even instruct the “reporters” to present terrorists as “innocent civilians”. The goal is clear: to trigger an emotional reaction in the western public, bypassing any verification of the facts, to delegitimize Israel and ensure the impunity for one’s atrocities. It is a brutal strategy, played on the skin of innocent civilians, with the complicity of those who, uncritically, let themselves be deceived ».
