The IDF censor head, Brig.-Gen. Kobi Mandelblit issued updated IDF censor guidelines regarding reporting on missile and drone impact sites in a statement published by the Government Press Office on Wednesday afternoon.
The order requires “any person who prints or publishes printed matter or a publication regarding the location of a strike or hit by enemy war materiel, including missiles of any kind and UAVs, in the media or online (including social media, blogs and chats, etc.)” to submit it to the military censor for approval before it is published.
This includes both media published in Israel and abroad, Mandelblit clarified.
Mandelblit also updated that he is prohibiting the “printing or publishing of any publication that has not been submitted to the Censor, or which has been submitted to him and his instructions have yet to be received or have been received and not adhered to.”
Violating this order is “liable to severely harm the security of the state,” he added, stating that any violators will be charged.
This is a developing story.
