Foreign media are now required to obtain prior military censorship approval before filming missile impact and crash sites.
Foreign photographers will no longer be allowed to film at the scenes of missile strikes in Israel without prior written approval from military censors, under new directives issued by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi.

👉👉👉 Sure, the Iranian government and the reporting they allow??? may leave much to be desired, but I wonder if they can, or are even allowed, to broadcast in Europe, much less anywhere else outside of the ME.
Regardless, no one expects them to act like a Democracy, but they aren’t getting Congress to give them billions every year either, so I think more is to be expected of Israel.
So... Israel has to restrict speech to save “Muh Democracy”?
Is that it?
Push Joe Biden out to make room for Kamala to save “Muh Democracy”?
Sure, some might say truth is the first thing to go out the window at wartime but should people be that flippant? I think I’ve seen this movie before... Ghost of Kyiv, Ukrainian Snake Island soldiers resisted to the end, until way down the road it was revealed they did surrender when the MSM finally admitted it, Arma3 video footage used by the MSM, etc, and there are dozens of other examples like this...
Am I saying Israel has done similar? Obviously not and I’m not.
But... who knows what will be believable from here on out?
They’re in a war. Why tell the enemy anything?
“So... Israel has to restrict speech to save ‘Muh Democracy’?”
You have NO Concept of wartime OpSec. The Naivety of the modern American, who lacks all perspective on wartime contingencies, is truly astonishing. That naive perspective had it dominated during WWII would have doomed the USA and the European allies as well as the war against the Imperial Japanese in the Pacific.
Information on exactly where a missile hits helps Iran zero in on targets. Malicious reporter from Washington Post, Evan Hill has been posting exact GPS coords of missiles hits to help Iran. Tell us you support that.

They can just use Google Earth.
No one is asking the Israeli govt to report the damage being done in their country, which appears to be worse than what is being reported by legacy media.
You make my point for me, that there’s no sense now in believing the reports coming from the Israeli government that the missle strikes in Israel aren’t thst bad, or not as bad as claimed by sone, , and to not believe Col. MacGregor.
Sweeping Generalization.
Obviously not everyone has done or would do what they have done or go that far, you dumb loser.
Enjoy your most likely fake news from here on, or potential new Ghost of Kyiv-like stories coming out of Israel.
Didn’t folks that do that used to be called spotters?
Here’s what I told three other geniuses here:
“No one is asking the Israeli govt to report the damage being done in their country, which appears to be worse than what is being reported by legacy media.”
“You make my point for me, that there’s no sense now in believing the reports coming from the Israeli government that the missle strikes in Israel aren’t thst bad, or not as bad as claimed by sone, , and to not believe Col. MacGregor.”

Good! Morale is vital in war.
Macgregor is an antisemitic fool. He and Scott Ritter have said that Israel has been collapsing for years. It iz you Iran firsters that will see a collapse and it won’t be the Jewish state.
You are going right to using name calling which automatically makes you a dummy. Grow some brain cells for once in your life.
What do you do at other sites? Pull out the race card and call others racists?
Your use of liberal tactics isn’t welcome at FR.
Pointing out the flaws in what Istael is doing does not make a person Iran First as I’ve already said Iran’s government leave much to be desired.
Get better arguments.
Just becasue news doesn’t agree with your narrative doesn’t make it “fake”.
The guy is a Washington Post reporter, his tweets are still live, with GPS coords, and I posted the links.
You tell me what is fake.
If we end up in a war with China, and Chinese students are taking pictures and posting GPS coordinates of missile strikes, tell me you think that falls under freedom of speech.
Please, spare us. If you hate Israel, just say it and we can move on. Don’t feign offense about operation security in a hot war, makes you look dumb.
Of course not. I'm a journalist. See this shiny, plastic card around my neck?
Oh, ok then. Just make sure to grab a secure pager on the way out. In case we need to get in touch with you again.
