You want to blame the media?
Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman on Saturday denied intentionally misleading the foreign press about a nonexistent ground invasion of the Gaza Strip as part of a ruse against the Hamas terror group earlier in the week, blaming his unit’s false statements about the matter on an “honest mistake.”
I feel the idf, put that statement only as pr.
Their original statement wasn't misleading, all it said was "ground troops are currently attacking Gaza" the media choose to be misled, and jumped the gun, before checking their sources, and decided that this tweet meant, they had actually entered. And now the media to save their skin, is blaming the idf that the idf had misled them (and also extra points, to blame Israel for something else).
So Israel to counter, put out the message you posted above. But it's not Israel or that soldier to blame.
And either way, what's wrong even if Israel put that tweet out on purpose? That can't for once use out, the media that is against them for their advantage?
