Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

[Israel] Police halt broadcast of foreign outlets reporting from missile impact sites (www.timesofisrael.com)

Police halted the broadcast of several foreign news agencies reporting from missile impact sites this morning.

The agencies’ footage — which police say revealed “precise locations” — was apparently being used by the Al Jazeera news network, banned in Israel since last summer.

A spokesman for police says patrol units were dispatched to take action “against news agencies utilized by Al Jazeera to transmit unauthorized and unlawful content.”

In footage of the police action shared by the National Security Ministry, an officer is seen ordering a cameraman to hand over his recording device.

The cameraman resists and can be heard saying to him in Hebrew: “They are seeing you on CNN, seeing you on BBC, seeing you all over the world, so calm down for a second.” The cameraman requests that the officer talk to the police spokesman, and adds that he can’t help it if other channels are using his broadcast.

The decision was made “in accordance with the policy of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and under the directive of Police Commissioner Danny Levy,” says a police spokesman.

Earlier this week, police raided the offices of foreign TV crews after they broadcast missile impacts in the Haifa area, where barrages had targeted sensitive facilities.

Ben Gvir has pledged to crack down on foreign media broadcasting the locations of missile impacts.

“Broadcasts that show exactly where the missiles land on the State of Israel are a danger to state security,” he said from a missile impact site in Petah Tikva on Tuesday. “I expect that anyone who does this be treated as someone who harms state security.”

Israeli authorities have sought to limit information on impact locations they argue can be used by Iran to better calibrate its missiles.

They also passed a law criminalising the filming of missile impacts.

Seems to be going well for them /s
