Israel-Gaza war – live updates
Israel’s leading leftwing newspaper, Haaretz, has said unnamed senior security officials threatened one of its investigative reporters if he reported on attempts by the former head of the Mossad to intimidate the ex-prosecutor of the international criminal court.
Amid growing concern over Israel’s censorship regime, enforced by the military censor’s office and by gag orders issued by the courts, Haaretz published an article on Wednesday with blacked out words and sentences to demonstrate the scale of redactions.
