Debka is in Israel, I understand it is run by people who are actually very much in the know. They are most certainly pro-Israel, but as far as news stories, they are way ahead of the MSM. Just because the MSM doesn’t pick up and never mentions many of the news stories Debka publishes, some people don’t believe Debka, but they do believe the MSM. Go, figure...

Thanks - I see people say “Debka” as though that means it’s untrue, but your explanation makes sense. For sure the MSM is pure propaganda crap.

Methinks Debka is a disinformation site run by the Israeli army or some such thing. Their stories of a strange mix between detailed, insider fact and fantasy. Some reports seem right on while others, bogus.
Take them with a grain of salt but try to read between the lines. In any event, it is interesting reading. Anybody take out a membership there? Debka could mean "Dafka" in Hebrew which means 'just because' or 'on purpose' or 'out of spite'.

Debka has good information in it, you have to read between the lines.

I see it as Israeli pysch warfare with some stories crying out with fear over Israel’s vulnerability to its enemies and others proclaiming the strength of Israel in the face of its enemies.

Debka articles often arouse sympathy for Israel and also appear designed to intimidate and confuse enemies.

They put out stuff that they hope folks like Assad, Hezbollah, Iran etc. etc. etc. are reading and worrying about.
