Defense Minister Israel Katz is accused of violating military censorship after disclosing that American fighter jets are taking off from Israeli territory as part of strikes on Iran, Israel Hayom reported Tuesday. The censorship authority had prohibited any reference to the operations, even by hint, due to the clear implications of such disclosure, according to the report. Katz's statement, which was first reported by N12's Amit Segal earlier today, marked the first public acknowledgment of active US combat missions launched from Israel against Iran. The realization that the disclosure may have breached censorship regulations adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate over operational security and political oversight.
