Government Media Office: "Zionist Enemy circulates fabricated video to cover up Rafah Massacre"
Gaza - SABA
The Government Media Office in Gaza stated on Sunday that the Zionist enemy army's release of a "fabricated and misleading" video constitutes an attempt to cover up its massacre of civilians near so-called "Israeli-American humanitarian aid distribution centers" in Rafah city, which left 31 civilians martyred and 200 injured.
In a press statement, the Office noted that "releasing the video over 15 hours after the massacre confirms it's part of a calculated media campaign to absolve the enemy," questioning: "If reconnaissance aircraft filmed the incident, why wasn't it released immediately?"
The statement dismissed the enemy's claims about "local gunmen firing at crowds" as "blatant lies," contradicting survivor testimonies and field evidence confirming victims were hit by direct enemy gunfire in areas under full enemy control, with no crossfire.
The Office revealed the published footage was filmed in eastern Khan Younis—not western Rafah where the massacre occurred—showing staged chaos involving "local gangs known for ties with the enemy" who looted aid and fired randomly to sow panic, creating pretexts for the enemy's subsequent shootings.
The video's inclusion of "flour bags" exposes its fabrication, the statement added, as the purported "Israeli-American aid" contains no flour but consists of materials stolen from international organizations like the "Rahma" foundation.
The statement further rejected enemy allegations about Hamas obstructing aid, stressing that for over 90 days, the enemy has systematically blocked aid flows, closed crossings, targeted trucks, and disrupted humanitarian coordination as part of its starvation and genocide policy.
It recalled the enemy's repeated use of pre-edited fake footage to justify crimes, including recent claims about "armed militants" in UNRWA schools where all casualties were civilians.
The Office concluded that the video cannot whitewash a documented crime—shooting starving civilians seeking sustenance—emphasizing that "Rafah massacres stand as evidence of mass murder no dark, fabricated video can erase."
The enemy resumed its intensified aggression and siege on Gaza at dawn on March 18, 2025, violating a two-month ceasefire agreement effective since January 19.

Turnout is expected to exceed 80%. Polls opened at 6:00 a.m. local time (21:00 GMT Monday) and will close at 8:00 p.m. The leading liberal candidate, Lee Jae-myung, who holds a 54% lead in opinion polls, has pledged to bring about change in the country. He has focused his campaign on economic reforms to address youth unemployment. His conservative rival, Kim Moon-soo, who has 41% support, has also pledged change, focusing on national security and strengthening relations with the United States. He said the political system and economic model, established during South Korea's rise as an emerging democracy and industrial power, were no longer appropriate. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
