I seriously doubt that's true. Huwawei has a deelopment center in Israel. Israeli media said that they were able to do it by concentrating everything on a need to know basis. Only used paper and in-person meetings to communicate.
Since they knew Israel was listening the broadcast misleading information in digital form.
The bottom line is that at some point a person in a room needs to decide if information is credible and how it fits into the narrative. Israeli intelligence just underestimated Hamas and didn't think this would happen.
There's one President of the United States. His account is well known. Preventing it from posting things is a single, one-off action.
Hamas isn't going to post these under "the official Hamas Facebook Business Page and Twitter account". The problem is more akin to "how could a social media network stop other people from sharing a screenshot of a deleted Trump tweet".
This whole war is a tragedy. It started horribly with the Hamas atrocities and it is just going to get worse as Israel is responding in a rage that is killing hundreds of civilians.
A better way to think about the horrors in Israel-Palestine starts with this premise: all human life is sacred

That's certainly a better way to feel about it.
The unfortunate fact is that in partisan* warfare each side's supporters will tolerate a certain level of atrocity, for two reasons: atavistic dislike of the enemy, and a more utilitarian belief that it's worth sacrificing X innocent people now to prevent the death of X' innocents in the future, by settling things now in some final battle. This conflict is heavily internationalized for a mix of religious and historical reasons, so both parties have a large pool of supporters to draw from.
* I use the term partisan here because it isn't a simple military conflict over a piece of territory or arising out of a skirmish, where neither side wants it to escalate to a broader conflict.
I’m sure they’d be pulling them down as they see them, but the article states that they’d be posted on throwaway accounts and then that then gets shared. Basically anything they do would be reactive.
I don't think so. I see a clear distinction between "a good communist is a dead communist" and "kill all communists." The first is freedom of speech, the second is an incitement to violence, and thus should be banned.
