Israeli army to hide soldiers’ identities from media.
According to Al-Manar, the Zionist regime has ordered its soldiers to hide their identities.
In addition, more media restrictions are being imposed on the virtual activities of these soldiers to prevent them from being prosecuted internationally on charges of committing war crimes.
Yesterday, the Zionist media reported the arrest of two soldiers of this regime in Mexico for participating in the Gaza war and committing war crimes.
The Israeli army has announced new measures to conceal the identities of soldiers of all ranks, amid arrest warrants and investigations of suspected war crimes in Gaza.
According to the Israeli broadcaster Channel 13, concerns about soldiers being arrested abroad has prompted the army to change procedures regarding the exposure of soldiers to the media.
The army said in a statement on Wednesday that troops in all combat sectors and of all ranks will now have their faces blurred in pictures and their full names concealed.
Previously, the practice of blurring soldiers’ faces was reserved only for those within special units and the Israeli Air Force. Today, only those of the rank of brigadier general and above will be shown without hiding their faces and full names.
Soldiers in lower ranks will only be presented by the first letter of their given name. Photographs will be taken from behind or edited, and will be subject to approval by the military before publishing.
