Looks like Israel wised up a little bit. The Haaretz reports focus on attacks against Israel, probably because IDF isn't loudly crowing over every offensive move they make.

In the distributed battlespace, reporters cannot keep up with all of Israel's attacks in realtime.

Excellent information management IMO, something that is becoming an increasing part of battle calculus, and something which the US could still learn from.

In this wired world, it is becoming more important who the world thinks wins a battle or war, than who actually wins it. When a master strategist like Karl Rove is kept out of military decisions and wartime information management, and is not replaced with someone of equal or greater ability who also has TS clearance, it is not surprising that many claim we can win wars better than anyone, but have a hard time winning the peace that follows.

In my opinion, today's most successful general has a doctorate in information management, to go along with his other advanced degrees.
