[IsraelTimes] The IDF confirms fuel entered Gaza in recent weeks, but not for the Palestinian population, following denials that any such supplies were allowed into the Strip.According to the military, the fuel was destined for field hospitals run by foreign countries, and the move was approved by the political echelon. The fuel did not reach any Palestinians, it says.
The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) had previously denied that any fuel entered Gaza.
Israel stopped allowing aid into Gaza on March 2 after the first phase of a ceasefire and hostage release deal concluded. It is set to resume aid deliveries in the coming weeks, as part of a US-backed plan that aims to prevent the food and supplies from reaching Hamas.
