The Israel military voluntarily reported extensive
deletion and redactions of Israel media.  Excerpts from
the article:
"In 2024, military censorship in Israel reached the most extreme levels since +972 Magazine began collecting data in 2011. Over the course of the year, the censor completely banned the publication of 1,635 articles and partially censored another 6,265. On average, the censor intervened in about 21 news reports per day last year — more than double the previous peak of about 10 daily interventions recorded during the last war in Gaza in 2014 (Operation Protective Edge), and over three times the non-war-time average of 6.2 per day."
"When the censor intervenes, media outlets are forbidden from indicating that censorship has taken place, meaning most of its activity remains hidden from the public."
"Additionally, while the military censor would previously provide data on censorship in books — typically those written by former members of the Israeli security establishment — it now withholds this information. And over the past decade, it has also been reviewing and intervening in online publications by the State Archives. In some cases, it has even blocked the release of documents that had already been deemed harmless by the archive’s security experts and were previously accessible to the public."
