What happened
The IDF’s Home Front Command has sharply restricted access to the Shoal system, cutting off or limiting independent WhatsApp and Telegram alert channels that had shared early warnings of launches toward Israel. Operators and users criticized the move, while the military said the change was made for information-security reasons and to prevent inaccurate or sensitive data from being spread publicly.
