Palestinian Islamic Jihad has been firing rockets at Israel from Gaza for close to two days in retaliation to the IDF’s successful “precision strike” that killed senior Islamic Jihad commander Baha Abu Al Ata. The IDF has been tweeting about it, but evidently, they’ve tweeted about it a little more than Twitter would like.
This afternoon, the IDF’s official Twitter account posted video of Twitter preventing them from tweeting about air raid sirens going off in southern Israel:
We were trying to tweet about more rockets being fired at Israel by Islamic Jihad in Gaza, but @Twitter kept blocking our tweet for being repetitive.
It is repetitive.
But it’s important.
Please RT. pic.twitter.com/b4Ne2MWi60— Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) November 13, 2019
It is repetitive. And it is important. And Twitter should not be trying to prevent them from making the world aware of terrorists’ attempts to kill Israeli civilians.
The rocket attacks being repetitive is kind of the point is it not?

200+ rockets is definitely repetitive, and the world needs to know about what is happening.

It’s repetitive because it keeps happening! @Twitter @TwitterSupport @jack

Where is Twitter’s outrage? Or is that just reserved for the IDF?
