BREAKING: The censorship wall has cracked - it’s no longer possible to hide the Iranian strikes on Israel.After four days of brutal censorship, during which Israeli authorities banned citizens from sharing footage of Iranian missile strikes, the information blackout has finally been breached.
As I wrote yesterday morning, censorship, bot armies, and cooperation with social media platforms to suspend accounts sharing war footage cannot last forever.
Following relentless strikes by the Iranian regime on Israel especially on Tel Aviv with more than 50 targets reportedly hit in a single day, Israeli citizens whose lives are at risk have begun sharing videos and photos from the scene despite threats of arrest.
What Israel will likely manage to keep from the public is the true number of casualties, which is almost certainly far higher - but that has long been a common wartime practice, not only for Israel but for many other countries as well.
For now, at least on social media, the public is seeing a glimpse of the real situation on the ground - but don’t be surprised if Israeli authorities together with social networks try to implement a new round of censorship.
