Israeli police prevent media from reporting at scene of Soroka hospital strike

LONDON: Israeli police reportedly prevented journalists from filming at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, which suffered “extensive damage” from an Iranian missile strike on Thursday. Officers were said to have cited security concerns as the reason, on the grounds that footage from the scene revealed “precise locations” and had been broadcast by Al Jazeera, a media outlet banned in Israel since May 2024 over its coverage of the war in Gaza. The Times of Israel said police confronted one cameraman at the hospital site and demanded he hand over his equipment.
