Internal communications broadcast by the Israel Defense Force, including classified material, can be picked up by civilians in the Hebron area who tune in to Israel Television’s Channel 2.
A reporter for a Jerusalem weekly said he taped highly classified messages last week while sitting in the home of an Arab.
Among them was a report by a senior IDF officer on the midair collision of two air force helicopters, which killed seven crew members, on the night of April 22. The internal broadcast occurred three hours before the military censor cleared the information for public broadcast.
Another classified communication taped by the reporter had to do with the number of prisoners currently in detention centers.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
