The WhatsApp groups are exploding with rumours, the heads of the authorities cannot answer the frightened residents and the parents are afraid to send the children to the educational frameworks. But the state imposed a "fall" on the security affair in the north. If it was in the center of the country - after two hours everyone would know what it was about

In the last two days, the State of Israel treats the residents of the north like a small and stupid child, one who does not need to know the truth, so as not to cause unnecessary problems.

Since the explosion of the bomb near Megiddo prison and the serious wounding of Sharaf Al-Din from the village of Salem, everyone knows that something is happening, but no one is allowed to talk about it, following a sweeping and extraordinary blackout issued by the military censorship.



It is reported that Highway 65 was blocked for almost a day, but it is impossible to add details, they see large army and police forces walking around everywhere, and do not understand why.

And when a person is faced with the unknown, he tries to collect every possible information, from any source.

WhatsApp groups explode with unfounded rumors, invented theories fly on social networks, and scholarly analyzes are conducted on non-existent information in phone calls.

The heads of the authorities in the north explode with rage and frustration.

At the beginning of the event, when they tried to calm the residents down and give them instructions, senior commanders in the army jumped on them and warned them that they were causing damage to Israel's security and that they should not dare to utter a word.

Think about the illusory situation - the head of an authority, who is not updated with all the information, but understands most of it, cannot answer the frightened residents who turn to him and explain to them what is happening.



And we are talking about parents who are afraid to send their children to kindergartens and schools and businesses that are harmed because of the fear, uncertainty and rumors, when the publication is very partial, and the alternative media takes the place of the established media, which gives reliable information, entering into a whirlwind of fake news seasoned with fantasies.

After all, we have not been in a world with one TV station and three newspapers for a long time.

Today, when every citizen is a news agency - taking pictures on the phone, forwarding on WhatsApp and sharing on social networks - it is impossible to hold a sweeping publication collection order for more than two days, because that's how you create an ugly monster of rumors.

Using the media instead of prevention



Someone in the army should have understood after a few hours, that with all the required security sensitivity, a clear message should be sent out, through reliable media, in order to reduce pressure and not let the residents interpret the reality based on how many roads were blocked and how many vehicles they saw patrolling the road .



It can be stated with certainty that if such an event had occurred in the center of the country, after two hours we would all know what it was about.

The same in the south: when there was a fear of a security flare-up, residents were asked to stay near protected areas.

They knew what the security system was afraid of, why they needed to prepare, and that it was all over, they could demand compensation for the economic damage they suffered.



But in the north everything is allowed.

Even so, the residents there are transparent.

The government cuts the defense program against missiles and earthquakes, abandons education, health, employment, so what's the problem with not counting them when an extraordinary event occurs right in their yard, they don't really need to know what's going on there, after all, these are stupid children, right?.

And the worst?

When everything goes back to normal and they demand explanations, they will be told that nothing happened, what are they even talking about.
