Pozmanter shared an unique report with the Post detailing how the Hamas-government winter season project and a Hamas-run media workplace figure took a trip from Telegram to the worldwide press in between November 1 and 10, 2026.
The story starts on November 1, when the Gaza Winter Emergency Committee, a Hamas-government body, released its very first press declaration, published on the GMO’s Telegram channel.
The committee revealed the “2026-2027 Winter Preparedness and Response Plan” and the nationwide project “Together Towards a Safe Winter.” The release forecasted a severe, early winter season and blamed Israeli constraints on heavy equipment, extra parts, fuel, and shelter products.
It likewise supplied a list of figures: 200,000 damaged camping tents and one million tarpaulins required; 7,800 camping tents in hazardous areas; 2,000 broken structures at danger of collapse; and 70% of towns’ standard operating devices damaged.
Days later on, on November 5, before any storm in the area, Euro-Med Monitor released a short article called”Israel weaponises winter versus Palestinians in Gaza for 4th year, continues to prohibit shelter materials.”
A lot of the post’s claims can be traced straight back to the November 1 Hamas news release. The post composes “Israel continues to deny Palestinians in the Gaza Strip of safe shelter for the 4th successive year.” It then notes the exact same figures that appeared in the Hamas memo: 200,000 camping tents; one million tarpaulins; 2,000 split structures.
Hamas’s Gaza winter season declares get in worldwide media protection, HonestReporting states
As HonestReporting kept in mind, this was a pivot point.
The Hamas-aligned framing, such as “Israel is crafting a winter season disaster,” was reiterated in the vocabulary of a human rights NGO, with figures sourced to a committee whose Hamas governance ties go unlabeled.
The very first winter season storm showed up on November 6, with video of floods in Gaza flowing on social networks.
A day later on, on November 7 at 11:15 Israel time, approximately 12 hours after the very first rain, the Hamas-run Government Media Office released a brand-new press declaration alerting that “Within 12 hours: 70,000 camping tents flooded and $3 million in losses.”
It declared lots of walls collapsed, triggering injuries, and cautioned that broken structures harmed in the “genocide war” might collapse, and holds Israel “totally accountable” for keeping crossings near shelter and restoration product. It likewise contacted the global neighborhood and UN bodies to step in.
Within a couple of hours, Reutersthe BBC, and NBC News started publishing the “70,000 camping tents” figure. Reuters was the only one of the 3 that clearly determined the GMO as Hamas-run.
Hamas-linked Gaza flooding declares gain traction on social networks
By November 8, the figures stopped being associated to the Gazan ministries or Hamas. Drop Site News, for instance, credits the “950,000 at danger of flooding” figure to “the UN.”
Anti-Israel social networks accounts then started magnifying the claims.
Drop Site News called it “purposeful and organized ruthlessness … part of an effort to drive Palestinians out of Gaza … with complete United States assistance.”
Pro-Palestinian British medical professional Rahmeh Aladwan stated: “The Jewish profession damaged 82% of Gaza and has actually obstructed caravans and developing product for 3 years.”
Greta Thunberg published on Facebook: “around 70,000 camping tents flooded … ISRAEL IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE. END THE GENOCIDE.”
HonestReporting likewise kept in mind that the Hamas-run Gaza Government Media Office revealed the 70,000 camping tents figure simply hours after the rain started, and currently approximated losses to be approximately 3 million dollars.
HonestReporting questioned how Hamas, in a matter of hours and throughout a rainstorm, definitively understood that 70,000 camping tents had actually been flooded.
In other nations, after a catastrophe strikes, it can use up to a couple of days for authorities to even achieve an initial quote of the scope of the damage.
Israel’s Gaza winter season preparations mainly neglected in worldwide protection
Couple of news websites pointed out the comprehensive preparations Israel went to make the Strip prepared for bad weather condition.
Considering that September 4, 2026, approximately 2 months before the current storm, COGAT (the Israeli Ministry of Defense body accountable for humanitarian coordination in Palestinian locations) has actually been publishing on social networks the actions it was taking in anticipation of the upcoming winter season in the Gaza Strip.
This has actually consisted of helping with the entry of camping tents and shelter devices, engine oil, generators and lights, medical devices and materials, tarpaulins, winter season clothes, vacuum trucks, portable toilets, and extra lorry parts.
By the time the storm arrived this previous weekend, COGAT stated that over 91,000 camping tents and 8,200 trucks loaded with winter season needs had actually gotten in the Gaza Strip considering that the start of the winterization project in September.
“COGAT will continue operating in cooperation with the Board of Peace, the UN, global companies, and the global neighborhood to keep the humanitarian scenario in the Gaza Strip at its existing steady level ahead of the winter season, while taking the needed steps to avoid Hamas from taking control of the humanitarian help and important products,” COGAT composed on November 5.
As Pozmanter stated, there was certainly flooding in Gaza, however the story and scale of suffering were composed by Hamas before it even began drizzling.
“In their informing, parroted by associated companies like Euro-med and mostly relied on as truth by the press and lots of Western leaders, Israel was to blame, regardless of helping with circulation of 10s of countless camping tents and lots of winter season equipment to the population, something no other nation has actually ever provided for an opponent population throughout war,” he informed the Post
He likewise kept in mind that, mostly missing from the protection, were any discusses that Hamas has actually “taken apart Israeli and donor-provided sewage and drain systems and utilized the pipelines to develop rockets, and invested billions in global help to develop a huge tunnel network on their own instead of facilities for their individuals.”
“The reality is, Hamas when again compromised Gazan civilians and the media, when again, showed that it waives examination when unproven allegations are leveled at Israel,” Pozmanter concluded.
