The military censor has introduced a slew of new restrictions on journalists covering the unfolding war.
The Israeli government has issued new directives restricting how its media covers its current war with Iran.
On Wednesday, a circular from Israel’s military censor, Brigadier General Kobi Mandelblit, announced new rules on what Israeli media organisations and journalists within the country can – and cannot – publish about the effect of Iranian strikes.
The legal underpinnings of censorship in Israel are older than the country itself.
Restrictions on media freedom in the territory were first established by the British during their Mandate for Palestine in 1945, before being incorporated into Israeli law after the state was created three years later.
