| Gaza watches Israel Channel 2 broadcasting Al Aqsa TV |

| TEL AVIV—At 8 p.m. on July 12, Hamas forces in Gaza announced that in one hour they would destroy the city of Tel Aviv. Even for a war that has played out in the bravado of hashtag campaigns, terror-group music videos, and Israeli-military propaganda memes, such a statement was unprecedented. Hamas had never issued warnings before firing missiles at Israel. So Ehud Yaari, the Israeli television journalist who is a fixture on the nation’s Channel 2 news, broke immediately from his regular coverage and reported the threat. In the exact moment that he did, however, viewers of the Hamas-run television station Al-Aqsa TV were also watching him in Gaza. That’s because on July 12, as on so many other nights of this nearly month-long conflict between Israel and Gaza, Al-Aqsa was carrying Channel 2 live on air. |
