Conflicting narratives: "Israel's" double message on Gaza famine exposed
Conflicting narratives about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, depending on the language of its audience, are what followers are now noticing on the "Israeli" military's various social media accounts. On its English-language Instagram page, the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) denied that famine exists in Gaza, insisting that humanitarian aid is entering the strip daily. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Israel Defense Forces (@idf) Yet at the same time, Avichay Adraee, the IOF's Arabic-language spokesperson, posted an AI-generated image of senior Hamas leaders dining abroad. The caption read, 'While the people of Gaza suffer, Hamas leaders are conducting their terror from beyond the seas,' ending with the line: 'Gaza, for them, is a dish on the table.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avichay Adraee أفيخاي أدرعي (@avichay_adraee) The dual messaging sparked an immediate backlash. Users accused the IOF of manipulating its narrative to suit its audience, acknowledging the suffering in Arabic to turn the public against Hamas, while denying it entirely in English to deflect global condemnation. Critics called it a propaganda stunt that not only exposes the IOF's hypocrisy but also reflects a cynical strategy: weaponizing Gaza's suffering when politically convenient, and erasing it when inconvenient. The conflicting posts come amid mounting evidence of mass hunger and deliberate aid obstruction in Gaza. With images of starving children continuing to emerge, many see the IOF's contradictory claims as part of a broader campaign to control the narrative while distancing itself from accusations of using starvation as a tool of war. As famine and desperation escalate, the IDF's two-faced messaging highlights the growing gap between ground realities in Gaza and the carefully curated versions of truth being broadcast to the world.

‘Israeli' military blames ‘technical error' for deadly strike on children collecting water
At least 10 Palestinians, including six children, were killed in an 'Israeli' airstrike on a water collection point in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, local health officials said Sunday. Another 17 people were wounded in the strike, according to Dr. Ahmed Abu Saifan, an emergency physician at Al Awda Hospital, which received the casualties. The 'Israeli' military acknowledged it was responsible for the strike but said the missile missed its intended target due to a 'technical error.' The Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) said the strike was aimed at a member of Islamic Jihad, but the munition landed 'dozens of meters from the target.' 'The incident is under review,' the IDF said in a statement, adding that it 'works to mitigate harm to uninvolved civilians as much as possible' and 'regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians.' Officials at Al Awda Hospital confirmed receiving the bodies of 10 victims and said six of them were children. Residents described a horrific scene. Ramadan Nassar, a local resident, said about 20 children and 14 adults had lined up in the area Sunday morning to collect water—a scarce resource in Gaza amid the ongoing war. 'When the strike happened, people ran. Some were hit while running, and others collapsed on the ground, severely wounded,' he said. The Nuseirat camp, like much of Gaza, has been struggling with critical shortages of water, food, and medical supplies amid ongoing 'Israeli' military operations.
