It's also hard to have 3 independent outlets report on all the thing.s This seems like a small story that only some people in Polymarket cared about I guess? It's not like 3 different news outlets were calling authorities to confirm what really happened here. It wasn't big enough to deserve more than 1 journalist going to the source and doing all this work.
Israel doesn't have a free press, so it stays largely suppressed. If it did, surely more local news outlets would cover it. Israel strongly censors domestic war news.
This always seems like such a lazy way of thinking. How do you know more local news outlets didn't report it? More to the point, do you even speak Hebrew? If not, how would you be able to tell whether or not it was reported on, or what the local outlets are in the first place?
Also, how does a large, national newspaper reporting on it indicate a lack of free press?
