A commentator noted Saturday that since the military censor failed to delete a prior publication about American refueling tankers landing at IDF bases in southern Israel, the information is now considered permissible to publish. The remark follows the IDF's earlier confirmation of the arrangement.
The military censor's failure to retract an earlier report has effectively lifted the publication restriction on American refueling tankers landing at IDF bases in southern Israel, a commentator remarked Saturday. The comment follows the IDF's confirmation of the arrangement at 10:23 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. Earlier that morning, at 07:57 Jerusalem, the IDF Spokesperson had not yet responded to the issue. The initial reports at 10:23 Jerusalem included multiple updates: first, that tankers were expected to land at an IDF base in the south; then, that they would land at Air Force bases to minimize civilian disruption; and subsequently, the IDF confirmation. The commentator's identity was not specified in the circulating post, and the tone suggested frustration with the censorship process rather than new information. The Zioneer previously reported Wednesday that an unidentified commentator expressed frustration over Israeli operational dependence on American approval, a sentiment that echoes in the current remark. The commentator's identity remains unknown, and the remark does not provide new operational details about the tanker deployment.
