Posts challenge Netanyahu's claims on Ori Megidish's rescue
Data and images circulating have raised questions about the claims made by the Israeli Occupation government and its army regarding the rescue of soldier Ori Megidish from the Gaza Strip in a ground operation.
These sources revealed that a post was made on her social media account on Oct. 12, five days after the Operation Aqsa Typhoon, suggesting that she was not among those detained by Hamas on Oct. 7.
Moreover, there is a list of detainees' names published by the Israeli Occupation earlier, and her name and photo were not among them until it was amended on Monday.
Social media users also shared pictures of the soldier on Monday, indicating that she was with her family, as her hands and nails appeared well-maintained, which raised questions about her captivity.
Hassan Lafi, an expert on the Israeli Occupation, pointed out that there are significant doubts about the soldier's status and whether she was already among those detained by the resistance. He suggested that the announcement made by Netanyahu might have been an attempt to manage public perception rather than a true rescue operation.
Lafi emphasized that Netanyahu's claims should be viewed in the context of the ongoing media battle and that Israeli Occupation Forces have not made significant advances into populated areas in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu's announcement came after the Al-Qassam Brigades released a video of female detainees demanding a ceasefire and their release while accusing him of failure.
On Monday, the Israeli Occupation security service "Shin Bet" and the spokesman for the Israeli Occupation army jointly claimed to have rescued Colonel Ori Megidish during a ground operation in the Gaza Strip after her detention at the beginning of Operation Aqsa Typhoon.
