Israel has reportedly shut military installations and prevented the publication of reports on impacts of the recent massive retaliatory missile attack by Iran against the occupying entity.
The Middle East Eye news portal reported on Wednesday that the censorship from Israel had made it difficult to assess the full damage caused by the Iranian reprisal attack the previous day.
“After Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles …, with video footage showing many of them hitting their targets, Israel closed off several military zones and barred the publication of reporting on where missiles hit the ground,” the report said.
On Tuesday evening, Iran launched high-speed missile barrages at the Zionist entity’s military and intelligence and spying bases, sending almost 10 million settlers into bomb shelters.
Israel claimed that most of the missiles were intercepted, but video footage online showed numerous projectiles landing and exploding inside the occupied territories.
Among the targets of the raid was Israel’s Nevatim air base, which hosts F-35 jet fighters.
The occupation’s military declined to comment on the damage to the base and other locations, arguing “it did not want to give information to Iran that would help it understand the effectiveness of its barrage.”
Iran’s operation, dubbed Operation True Promise 2, was carried out in response to Israel’s barbaric acts of assassination against the resistance front’s top leaders.
The Iranian mission at the UN said the attack was a “legal, rational and legitimate response to the terrorist attacks of the Zionist regime, which involved the targeting of Iranian nationals and interests and infringing on the national sovereignty of Iran.”
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that 90 percent of the missiles launched in the attack successfully hit their targets.
Tuesday’s operation was Iran’s second anti-Israel operation, after a missile and drone attack in April in retaliation for the regime’s deadly airstrike on the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital.
Israel is currently waging brutal two-front aggression that has killed almost 41,700 people in the Gaza Strip and nearly 2,000 others in Lebanon over the past year.....more below

Any moment now I am expecting John Cleese (a veteran of Monty Python) to jump out of the bushes and announce the creation of the Ministry of Silly Wars, with Donald Trump as the deranged leader. For you youngsters out there, Monty Python’s skit, The Ministry of Silly Walks, helped make the members of MP legends. I had to reference Monty Python because the line of bullshit the Trump administration is feeding the American people and the world about the amazing, obliterating US attack on Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, is more ridiculous that all of the silly walks pictured in the following video:
My hopes that Donald Trump would finally act like a responsible adult are dashed. He’s a dangerous buffoon. While the team around him are working frantically to maintain the fiction that Trump has a vision and is calling the shots on the foreign policy front, he is careening around the globe like an out-of-control cue ball on a billiards table. It started a week ago… first, he claimed...
