Hamas Claims Israel Flooded Gaza by Opening Dams - that Don't Exist
(Times of Israel) Elhanan Miller - A fabricated claim that Israel intentionally flooded Gaza during the recent storm in the region made headlines in Middle Eastern and international media. After torrential rain caused widespread flooding in Gaza, Hamas' Disaster Response Committee chairman Yasser Shanti said Friday that Israel had opened dams just east of Gaza, causing a flood. Uri Schor, a spokesman for Israel's Water Authority, said Wednesday that no dams even exist in the area.
