Israel reports a new surge of COVID-19 cases.

40% of the people infected with the virus already received two doses of Pfizer vaccine, which raises the question about whether Pfizer is effective against the Indian variety that makes up 90% of the active cases in Israel.

🚨 In a hypocritical move against free speech and free information, the US Department of Justice confiscated a dozen web domains, many of them news channels: - Al-Alam News TV (Iran) - Al-Anwar TV (UK/Iraq) - Al-Forat News (Iraq) - Al-Kawthar TV (Iran)…
About 3 dozens web domains have been seized, concerning 6+ countries.

For a few of them, this is not the first time. Al-Maalomah (almaalomah.⁠org) was previously seized in March 2021 (almaalomah.⁠com).

For most news outlets, however, this is unprecedented.

In addition to them, only one militant group, Iraqi Kataeb Hezbollah, (kataibhezbollah.⁠org) has been stripped of its domain (again).
An Azerbaijani news website was seized, according to @‌MalikAshtar114
They targeted resistance-supportive and opposition channels.

The Azerbaijan government never was friendly to the resistance. In fact, it is a major Israeli ally in spite of the Shia Muslim majority. A few years back, several Azerbaijani men who fought with IRGC in Syria were arrested and handed long prison sentences.
Religious TVs are affected.

Al-Anwar is a Shirazi channel for Ashoura and Latmiyat (songs of sadness). It has zero political engagement, let alone the fact that Shirazis aren't fond of Iran.
KarbalaTV is the website for the Imam Hussain Shrine.

The shrine is apolitical, managed by Sayed Sistani (apolitical) and the Najaf Hawaza (apolitical).
HarkarMusulunci was seized. This Nigerian website in Hausa language centers on Islam, with content on (Jerusalem) Quds Day and Ghadeer Day, a sermon commemorated by Shia Muslims.
Al-Hadi TV was seized. It broadcasts religious lectures in English.
Calm down Martinez, we didn't forget that you once worked for these media channels.

Press TV remember it?

I won't bother with replying... (Edited)
The US DOJ did not seize websites such as FadakTV. Owned by a British Shia sheikh, it is known for sectarian Shia-vs-Sunni talk, and abetting sectarian and inter-religious strife.
