– Israel Censors Reporting On Military Sites Hit By Iran, Obscuring Extent Of Damage:
After Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles across Israel on Tuesday evening, with video footage showing many of them hitting their targets, Israel closed off several military zones and barred the publication of reporting on where missiles hit the ground.
The censorship from Israel made it difficult to assess the full damage from Iran’s strikes, with both the US and Israel sending mixed messages regarding the size and impact of Tehran’s attack.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that an initial Israeli assessment of the attack showed minor damage to military bases. The Iranian attack hit the Nevatim air base in the Negev Desert, where Israel has placed some F-35 fighter jets. But Israel’s military declined to share with the Journal the extent of the damage to the air base.
The military said “it didn’t want to give information to Iran” that could help Tehran understand how much damage its attack caused.
