      Yes In 2024, Israel’s military censor banned 1,635 articles and partially redacted another 6,265, intervening in about 21 news reports per day—more than double the previous peak during wartime and over three times the non-war average.

      Any article dealing with “security issues” must be submitted for military review; editorial teams decide what to submit, but the law

      Media outlets are forbidden from indicating when censorship has occurred, so most interventions remain hidden from the public.
