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.’”

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

        According to nato-coolpedia there was a supreme court ruling in 1984 that established free expression rights.

        Here's the pdf: https://versa.cardozo.yu.edu/sites/default/files/upload/opinions/Levi%20v.%20Southern%20District%20Police%20Commander_0.pdf

        I'm guessing there's some special exceptions for idf-cool circumstances.

          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".

    “Approximately 100 IAF fighter jets struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels, aimed for fire toward northern and central Israel.”

    That seems like a large fleet to fly for a single mission. Thats like WW2 numbers. According to Wikipedia this would be over a third of their entire fighter jet fleet.

      Imagine if they could get their hands on a few hundred mobile SAM systems.
