Israel accused of tricking major news outlets into reporting a fake Gaza invasion to lure Hamas fighters into tunnels that were targeted for massive airstrikes

Early Friday, it was widely, incorrectly reported that Israeli ground forces had advanced into Gaza.

Some observers blame the confusion on a military ploy to lure militants into the tunnels under Gaza.

More than 150 Israeli jets went on to intensely bombard the tunnel system, known as "the metro."

"The IDF makes Hamas think that a ground operation is beginning, which causes the organization to bring in all its fighters, including the Nahba, the special force of Hamas, to go down into the tunnels and prepare for combat," Dvori wrote.

"Then for 35 minutes, 160 planes hover over Gaza and drop 450 bombs, which are over 80 tons of explosives, on the entire Gaza 'metro.'"

The IDF has blamed the confusion on a translation error, but

“Israel accused of using military tactics in a military operation.”

Israel accused of tricking major news outlets

"Accused" - like there's something wrong with not bowing down to the major news outlets, all of which are left-wing propaganda organizations filled with anti-US and anti-Israel ideologues. The "major news outlets" can all go...pound sand, to keep it polite.

How dare Israel use subterfuge and trickery to win a war. They’re supposed to follow Marquess of Queensbury rules while the “Palestinian” terrorists run wild.

“Accused”

Nope. No bias there.

Ruses of war are allowed by the Geneva Conventions. No law, no sin.

MSM and the Obama-biden admin are undoubtedly seething. Kerry would’ve called his Iranian and Hamas comrades and tipped them off had they known of the ruse. A feel-good story all the way around.

"Israeli Army tells foreign media it has ground forces in Gaza - then apologizes for misleading them."

I see...it's okay for the media to lie to the public anytime it wants, but it's not okay to mislead the media. Really? To me, no apology necessary. If you want some honesty in the journalism industry, you need to start practicing it yourself first. Even then, it will be years before anyone trusts you again.

Has anyone ever heard of PsyOps.

The Israeli’s just wrote a new chapter in that book.

And the willing, liberal, terrorist supporting, corrupt media played right into their hands.....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Best part about it, anything the Israeli’s do from this point on, the media will have to make a decision as to what to report and how to report it. Either way the IDF will have a plan.

Put something out to force Hamas to make a move or not make a move. Either way, Hamas gets blown to bits.

They were concerned the media had run short of fake news, so the Israelis figgered they would help them out.

And this is the thanks they get.

Well, you know, sometimes, in the fog of war, things get ‘misinterpreted’ a bit. No big deal and say hello to Allah for me, please.

I’m sure Roger Waters would be more than happy to fill in.
