1. Restrictions on reporting are very VERY common during wars

Most countries do this/have done this including the US and Europe.

2. Not News

Agitprop.

3. It's a totally illegal order issued and enforced by the IDF

It's like for all the hypocritical screaming that Iran hit a hospital, they didn't want it coming out that the hospital was right next to the IDF's Command and Intelligence (IDF C4I) headquarters and the army intelligence camp in the Gav-Yam Technology Park

Israel's chief military censor has issued an illegal order restricting media reports and social media posts related to missile strikes.

Haaretz has learned that the order, which provides that violators face prosecution and imprisonment, is not legally valid.

Nonetheless, the order didn't get the required approvals and was not reviewed by the relevant legal adviser nor published in the official government gazette.

For instance, an issue that an adviser would have raised is that the order has also not been reviewed by parliamentary committees, such as the Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee or the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
