The Israeli military censor calls on Israelis not to share any information they have about a November 11 special forces raid inside the Gaza Strip, in which an officer was killed, after the Hamas terror group publishes photographs purporting to be of the soldiers involved in the operation.

“Hamas is working now to interpret and understand the event that occurred within Gaza on November 11, and every piece of information, even if it is considered by the publisher as harmless, is liable for endangering human lives and damaging the security of the state,” the censor says in a statement.

The announcement is a highly irregular move by the censor, which typically refrains from making public comments.
