President Isaac Herzog denied false claims made against him during his visit to London on September 10th, 2025, at approximately 4:17 PM UTC. A campaign of lies falsely attributed the statement "There are no innocent civilians in Gaza" to the President. He clarified that he actually said, "There are many, many innocent Palestinians," according to an official statement posted on X by Eylon Levy. This denial comes amidst ongoing military operations in Gaza City, where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive targeting over 360 sites earlier on September 10th. The IDF stated these strikes were part of operation "Cars Aghansat 2" and aimed to disrupt Hamas's operational readiness. The IDF refuted claims of fake leaflets announcing a humanitarian zone, reiterating that Al-Mawasi remains the designated safe area. In separate developments, the United Arab Emirates has banned Israeli representatives from the Dubai Airshow, citing security considerations. This decision is reportedly linked to a recent Israeli strike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has previously outlined the IDF's objectives to topple Hamas rule and secure the release of hostages, emphasizing the pursuit of Hamas in various locations.
