He stated that “the Israeli, who was in the boat, was celebrating a birthday with his Italian friends, who are retired from the Italian intelligence, and the Israeli knew them because of his work as a former security official, and they were all together when the accident occurred, and four of them were killed.”

The Israeli censorship prohibits the publication of identities or photos of officers, security and intelligence personnel, or occupation spies, even if they are retired, and it studies the files associated with them, and assesses the risks that result from publishing their photos or identities.

Censorship often does this because of the possibility of identifying the elements and exposing Israeli security actions through them, which may expose the responsible authorities to prosecution in some countries, or expose secret operations, as happened in assassinations in the UAE, Turkey, Malaysia and European countries previously.
