It prevents photography and the circulation of photos and video clips, and warns against providing any information to media outlets in this regard, except through media outlets subject to its strict control.
The ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip for more than a year led to the death and injury of more than 142,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, and more than 10,000 missing persons, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly.
