Meanwhile, the Israeli army announced on Sunday that "based on political directives, the Defense Forces deployed humanitarian aid last night as part of efforts to transfer it to the region."

It added that "the drop operation, carried out in cooperation with international organizations and led by the Government Coordination Unit, involved seven aid platforms containing flour, sugar, and canned food. "
