Israeli claims of fuel tanks held by Hamas ‘lie’: Gaza government
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – Gaza’s government has dismissed as a blatant “lie” the Israeli claims of tanks of fuel being held by Hamas in the blockaded enclave.
“This lie shows how narrow-minded the Israeli army spokesman is and unable to make believable claims,” the government media office said in a statement.
Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee had issued photos of what he said were fuel tanks held by Hamas in Gaza. The photos showed a location near the Rafah crossing in the south Gaza Strip.
“This is what over half a million litres of diesel looks like, while Hamas keeps claiming it does not have enough fuel to support hospitals and bakeries,” Adraee said on social media platform X.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army had rejected calls by the UN Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, to allow fuel shipments into Gaza.
Israel launched a relentless bombardment campaign on the Gaza Strip on October 7.
At least 6,546 Palestinians have been killed, most of them children.
Gaza’s 2.3 million people have run out of food, water, medicines and fuel, and aid convoys allowed into Gaza have managed to carry only a minuscule fraction of what is needed.
