The operation was conducted “in accordance with the directives from the political echelon, and as part of the cooperation between Israel, the UAE, Jordan, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Greece and Italy,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit reported.
“Over the past few hours, more than 106 aid packages containing food for the residents of the Gaza Strip were airdropped by six different countries, including Greece and Italy, which participated in airdrop operations today for the first time since the operation began,” the announcement said.
The IDF emphasized its commitment to ongoing humanitarian efforts, saying it “will continue to work in order to improve the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, along with the international community, while refuting the false claims of deliberate starvation in Gaza.”
