Israel is allowing the United Nations to repair infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and has recently permitted the entry of significant winter aid, including 91,000 tents, tarpaulins, blankets, and warm clothing. This move aims to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of residents living in tents during the winter and to prevent Hamas from launching a "winter campaign" of propaganda intended to damage Israel's public image. Security officials are concerned about the potential spread of epidemics from Gaza to Israel. The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) has established a mechanism for the entry of dual-use equipment, with the UN and the IDF receiving the supplies, and the defense establishment verifying their delivery to purification facilities. However, Israeli security systems emphasize that the Gaza Strip's reconstruction will not proceed before Hamas disarms. A security source stated that the introduction of dual-use equipment is also intended to prevent the contamination of water sources and the sea, as well as to avert outbreaks of disease.
