Often truth is the first casualty of war, but Israel's military censor keeps people in the country in a perpetual state of siege, which means the truth about military operations is always in short supply.

According to 972 Magazine, an online magazine run by Palestinian and Israeli journalists, the Israeli military censor “completely banned the publication of 1,635 articles and partially censored another 6,265” in 2024. “On average, the censor intervened in about 21 news reports per day.”

The “extreme level” of censorship in 2024 was driven by the genocide in Gaza and Israeli strikes on Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. It continued in 2025 (though 972 Magazine has yet to publish data from last year). And now, after joining the United States in a regime change war against Iran, the Israeli military censor has recommitted itself to hiding reality.
