As the old cliché goes, the first casualty when war comes is
truth.

In the past week, Israel has denied that it has caused a famine
in Gaza, accusing the UN-backed body behind the report of a
“blood libel”, and killed five more journalists in a widely
condemned double-tap attack on a hospital.

It is part of a wider trend that has made getting to the facts of
the war in Gaza difficult.

To understand how a war on truth is being waged in Israel,
Venetia speaks to UNICEF’s Tess Ingram in Gaza City, Phil
Chetwynd, global news director of news agency AFP, and Israeli
information warfare specialist Tal Hagin.
