Israel revokes U.S. reporter's credentials

Article Abstract:

Israel revoked the press credentials of Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald and another foreign journalist for violating the country's censorship laws. Four other journalists were reprimanded. The journalists had reported on a military training accident in which five soldiers were killed and the government disciplined them for not submitting their reports to the Military Censor. The journalists noted that the laws had not been enforced in the past and the disciplinary actions would have little effect on their jobs.
