    What an overblown headline.

    Netanyahu’s office demanded that ministers not make statements to the media regarding the assassination

      Israeli Knesset member from the Likud party, Danny Danon, congratulated security forces for the assassination in what appears to be the first official Israeli acknowledgment of responsibility.

      "I congratulate the Israeli army, the Shin Bet, and the Mossad and the security forces on killing the senior Hamas official Salah al-Arouri in Beirut,‘’ Danon wrote on X.

      The article isn’t overblown. No statements on the bombing are allowed to be made by the Israeli government to fake plausible deniabilty.

      It’s like a new trend I’m seeing here on lemmy. Every anti israel article some guy comes in and calls it “overblown and out of proportions” when the article is clearly backed up with evidence.

        Silencing the media is a much bigger deal than a government body not talking publicly about a military operation.

          I believe the term for that is a media blackout. Or silencing journalists.

          Netanyahu is demanding media silence from the ministers. In direct response to one of them admitting in a social media post that israel did the bombing.

          If they knew secret war operation details Netanyahu wouldn’t need to mention this silencing to begin, with since leaking that is already forbidden.

      Wow. The only dude that actually read the article instead of reacting to the headline got down voted. Lemmy truly is just DIY reddit.
