Israel censors foreign press coverage of Iranian strike sites

I think they expected there to be a tsunami of sympathy when the missiles struck.

The backlash against the American bombing of Iran, and even some actual *support* for Iran on social media has to be highly unnerving for them.

If you are not the one telling the story then someone else will.

If there is no one doing story time then all that's left is reality and evidence.

Of all the things Israel does, censoring damage to (hopefully) military targets is the least reprehensible one. They have killed journalists by the dozens for reporting about Gaza, ffs.

I think they expected there to be a tsunami of sympathy when the missiles struck.

They obviously didn't think that 20 months of murdering children in every depraved way possible would have poisoned people's perception so much that everyone cheered at the karmic justice and made amazing memes of the missile strikes.

But but I thought Israel was the only western style democracy in the middle east... /s

Israel not look like a tin pot dictatorship challenge. Impossible
