In May 1948, Egypt caught two Israeli soldiers near the wells of Gaza and accused Israel of trying to poison its water. At the UN, Israel's representative called the charge medieval anti-Semitic incitement. Israel called it a "wicked libel."

In May 1948, Egypt caught two Israeli soldiers near the wells of Gaza and accused Israel of trying to poison its water. At the UN, Israel's representative called the charge medieval anti-Semitic incitement. Israel called it a "wicked libel."
In 2022, the Israeli historians Benny Morris and Benjamin Z. Kedar published the IDF's own documents. The operation was real. It had a code name: Cast Thy Bread.
I served in Israel's Foreign Ministry and was an analyst in Unit 8200. I never heard of this operation until Haaretz published the files. This video walks through what they show: Ben-Gurion's diary, Yigael Yadin's orders, the wells near Jerusalem, the typhoid outbreak in Acre, the Gaza mission, the denial at the UN Security Council, and the officers who objected.
Israel has never acknowledged Cast Thy Bread. It has never taken back the words "wicked libel."
This video is part of what will be an ongoing series on Israeli lies and crimes. All the threads are linked in my pinned post on X.
