Israel between the media of victory and its absence

Today I listened to the statements of the Israeli Defense Minister Galant, which he made on the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine, and I was keen to listen to him carefully, and it became clear to me that the man is disconnected from reality, as he says that Hezbollah is no longer able to threaten, and it is without leadership, and there is no one to make decisions in it, and that the return of the settlers to the north is imminent... while the field scene indicated a disastrous failure of his forces to cross even a few meters into southern Lebanon, and Haifa was hit by more than a hundred missiles, and electricity was cut off in three settlements, and we saw on television screens the smoke of his vehicles burning, and Ben Gurion Airport was shut down, and here we ask is all this happening without a "leadership directing the resistance"? 

The truth is that Galant’s allegations are not separate from a phenomenon that has been established throughout the confrontation from October 7 until now, which is that Israel has been the victor throughout the major confrontations with the Arabs in an undeniable way, which does not require it to lie or falsify the news, as the successful person does not twist the truth of his success, but rather the Arab recipient is accustomed to tending to believe the Israeli media because the reality was identical to what that media says, and the Arab media has been a model of lying and “stupid” falsification since the Ahmed Said phenomenon until now, almost. It may lie but intelligently, but the Arab media combined lying and stupidity in those periods, and it still suffers from some of the “viruses of that period.” But the new shift in this issue from the Israeli side appears in two aspects:

1- Israel is still unable to achieve great and clear successes, but sometimes faces many setbacks, which has caused its media to fall into a kind of confusion, as it is a media accustomed to reporting victory but is not accustomed to reporting stumbles, and from here came this confusion, otherwise how do we explain the following phenomena:

A- The great discrepancy in the numbers of dead and wounded from one source to another, which I have demonstrated in previous articles and with documented numbers, and in fact some relevant Israeli sources had the number of dead in the later report less than the number of dead in the previous report (as if some of the dead had returned to life) (you can refer to my documented articles in this regard), and the reports of Israeli hospitals are not consistent with the numbers announced by the official spokesman, but rather the numbers vary from one newspaper to another. 

B- Preventing the media from transmitting and photographing the material damage, and all we see is only individual efforts or a shot by a journalist from here or there, but the relevant media are not allowed to transmit that, and this became clear in the recent Iranian strike on some bases that Israel denied until the missiles reached them, then the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal came out with expert analyses of satellite images that confirmed that there is a significant gap between what Israel said and what actually happened. 

C- Despite some Israeli writers pointing out the severe decline in Israel's image in the mind of world public opinion, the official bodies (the government, ministers, security leaders and the army) avoid addressing this matter completely as if it were a military secret. 

D- The discrepancy between the reports of the Israeli media itself, as what Haaretz says is far from what Yedioth Ahronoth or Maariv or Channel 12 or 13 says, and the discrepancy is not in the diversity but in the content of the same news about the same incident, in fact the bickering between ministers and opposition leaders and between politicians and military personnel appears in one newspaper and is denied by another. 

2- Breaking the monopoly of news through social media, as the Arab media used to say whatever it wanted because the Arab reader did not find other sources, especially in light of the official media’s monopoly of the entire scene, which makes the field of lies and forgery spacious, while the Israeli media did not need to lie previously, as there is no justification for the victor to lie, but now, due to its lack of decisive victory and the successive surprises it receives, it finds itself without the means to inform “non-victory” at the very least, and from here the confusion appeared on it, and the scene became more confusing for it that social media and the leaked or smuggled image or the one that can be sold to major media outlets at tempting prices have become uncontrollable, and from here the confusion increased. It is difficult to say that Israel has been defeated, but it has certainly not won yet, and hence its media is blind this time. Will it become blind? Perhaps.
