@matunos@Sherifazuhur@israel@palestine Yeah, which is why it's important to have enough media literacy to know what the IDF can and can't lie about. It can't make up military operations that don't exist, or deny ones that do exist - it can only deceive about their nature (hence the bombings in Rafah that were thought to be a prelude to a full ground invasion and turned out to be cover for the rescue). It can't lie about its own casualties at scale - Israelis would find out, this isn't Russia.
