Hamas implicitly threatens journalists not to report anything from Gaza they don't approve

Western media simply ignores that everything that comes out of Gaza is pre-approved by Hamas, and anyone who breaks their rules is threatened.

All of the information that the media is reporting from Gaza this morning is what Hamas wants them to say. The only source for the death toll and the allegation that most of the dead are women and children come from Hamas and no one else. 

One Telegram message from the Al Qassam Brigades makes this explicit. Although Israeli airstrikes targeted some Hamas leaders, the terror group warned journalists not to report on their names until they get permission:

Urgent Directive and Warning:

We call on activists and media professionals to stop circulating the names of individuals involved in the attacks carried out by the occupation in the Gaza Strip, and to adhere to the statements issued by official authorities.

When a group that wears ski masks and carries weapons gives a directive, it is a threat, not a suggestion.

The main reason the media doesn't report on Hamas' complete control of the media is exactly because it is a threat, not a suggestion. They do not want to appear cowardly or to admit that they are following Hamas rules, so they simply do not report on things like this.
