An undisclosed 'vital military target' was the main objective of the operation, which Israel claims to have thwarted

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah launched retaliatory strikes on Tel Aviv's fascist regime for the July 30th murder of resistance commander Fuad Shukr. Now the Zionist dictator Netanyahu is frantically trying to censor all reporting on the damage that the Lebanese strikes inflicted upon his military.

Snip:

Following the operation, Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued an order banning press interviews with Likud ministers until further notice.

Additionally, BBC journalist Nafiseh Kohnavard reported on X that the Israeli government “issued a series of new censorship regulations for media that includes the damage caused by rocket attacks to ‘strategic national infrastructure or to military bases.’”

      In 2011, the Israeli parliament passed a law making a boycott call by an individual or organisation a civil offence which can result in compensation liable to be paid regardless of actual damage caused. It defined a boycott as "deliberately avoiding economic, cultural or academic ties with another person or another factor only because of his ties with the State of Israel, one of its institutions or an area under its control, in such a way that may cause economic, cultural or academic damage".
