Reuters, NBC, Fox, CBS Renting Tel Aviv Rooftops... →
journalofajournalist: Interesting link from Globes, Israel’s main business program. News outlets such as Reuters have been renting rooftops in Tel Aviv; television news producers have also been making arrangements for Iran-Israel war coverage. Article’s Hebrew-only, but Google Translate gives the gist. Translation: The press is bullish on Middle Eastern war :(.
