A fierce attack has been launched on Palestinian social media content, as dozens of accounts of Palestinian activists, journalists and media institutions have been restricted and deleted after they increased in numbers in the wake of the recent three-day Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

These social media accounts had published pictures of the victims and wounded and praised the resistance operations and bombing of Israeli cities, thus prompting a campaign on the Palestinian news and narrative, which activists accuse Israel of being behind.

In July alone, Sada Social Center, a Palestinian nongovernmental organization (NGO) tasked with monitoring violations against Palestinian content on media and social platforms, documented more than 63 digital violations against Palestinian content on various social media platforms, as several Palestinian accounts were reported as committing violations against website policies. This led to the deletion of accounts, several access restrictions and publication bans related to Palestine, according to the center. 

Facebook is the platform where digital violations against Palestinian content were most committed, as the center monitored 50 violations during the month of July alone on Facebook, while five violations were committed on TikTok and three on Instagram.
