Did banned Haaretz article foretell of Gaza war crimes?

[Jan Klimkowski]

Before it gets "edited", here's wiki:

Anat Kamm (Hebrew: ענת קם‎, born 1987) is an Israeli journalist who most recently worked for Walla!, an internet news portal owned, until recently, by Haaretz. She was secretly put under house arrest in December 2009 by the Shin Bet for allegedly leaking classified information from the IDF, about targeted killings of militants in the Palestinian territories[1][2][3][4][5][6]. The Israeli police secured a gag order prohibiting Israeli media from reporting on Kamm's arrest and the reasons for it. They could not even report the existence of the gag order itself.

In 2008, Uri Blau of Haaretz published a report[7] based on these documents which showed that the IDF senior command planned and executed targeted killings that violated an earlier 2006 ruling of the Israeli Supreme Court limiting the circumstances in which such a tactic could be used. This report caused chagrin and embarrassment among the military upper echelon, though the Supreme Court still has not taken further action in light of these revelations.

During Kamm's military service, she worked in the office of the head of Israeli Central Command, Major General Yair Naveh, one of the officers referred to in the Haaretz report.

Despite the fact that numerous foreign media outlets have reported on the case and her identity, there was an almost ironclad gag within the mainstream media. No newspaper has published her name though many have published reports criticizing the authorities for imposing the gag and preventing them from telling their readers about this major story. The first overseas reporting on the case[8] came in the Tikun Olam blog, which collaborated with Israeli bloggers and journalists to bring the story into the public consciousness.

The gag order was removed on April 8. On April 14th, Kamm's trial is scheduled to begin unless her attorneys arrive at a plea bargain with the prosecution.

Though the prosecution originally sought the gag order, in this case Kamm and her attorneys felt it was in her interest to honor it as well. She has exerted great pressure on her supporters not to publicize her arrest or the charges against her. She successfully got Hebrew Wikipedia to remove the article about her[9], which raised controversy both within the Hebrew Wikipedia community and among free speech and free press advocates within Israel and abroad.

The case raises profound questions about the balance between national security and press scrutiny[citation needed]. Advocates for human rights and democracy both within Israel and outside are closely monitoring the case. The Paris-based Reporters Without Borders issued a statement saying that "Defence of national security is a legitimate objective but censorship must not be used to prevent the Israel Defence Forces from being held responsible if they broke the law."[10]
