The Israeli newspaper Haaretz called for skepticism regarding statements made by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari, urging readers to stop considering them as "absolute truth".

The correspondent wrote that Hagari is a party in the current war in Gaza, and everything he says serves a narrative with many interests in shaping the awareness of Israelis and the world, emphasizing that "this fact should not be forgotten."

Israeli journalist Anat Saragusti stated that Israeli settlers have become addicted to Hagari's press conferences, forgetting that the Israeli occupation forces effectively control information according to their own interests, not necessarily in line with the interests of the public.

The newspaper called for skepticism in all information released by a "biased" source, such as the IOF spokesperson, for the truth to prevail.

This is not the first time Haaretz has talked about the "profession" of lying in the occupation government, and the false political propaganda practiced by political and military leaders and the media, targeting settlers to deceive them about the ability of the IOF to achieve victories.

In a previous report, lying in "Israel" was described as a profession and a highly demanded commodity, indicating the bragging in Israeli circles about everything the Israeli army does without verifying the information.

Israeli media: Hamas defeated 'Israel'

Israeli media outlets have confirmed Hamas' victory over "Israel" in the recent confrontations on multiple fronts. According to reports from the Israeli news platform Civil Press, the movement has emerged triumphant in Gaza both militarily and politically, garnering significant support from global public opinion.

After seven months of intense warfare in Gaza and along the northern border with Lebanon, Civil Press asserts that Hamas has demonstrated its superiority, particularly in the eyes of the international community.

The return of Israeli captives in coffins underscores the heavy toll exacted on Israeli forces, with numerous soldiers losing their lives in the war, as per the outlet.

Furthermore, reports indicate that Israeli forces have withdrawn from previously occupied territories within the Gaza Strip, signaling a retreat and loss of control.

Israeli media also highlighted the resumption of operations at the maritime pier in Gaza, a development seen as a significant victory for the Resistance following "Israel's" previous control over humanitarian aid entry points.

Former commanders of the Gaza Division have echoed sentiments of the military's struggle, with one stating, "The army is floundering in Gaza, and it is clear that we will not achieve our stated objectives."

These reports underscore a shifting narrative in the ongoing confrontations, with the Gaza movement asserting itself as a formidable foe, beating Israeli military might.
