“Jordan this week said they were told that Israel had prohibited filming Gaza from above.” Prohibiting reporting of a war zone should be seen as automatic confession of war crimes

Aerial photography is also used for targeting strikes, it is de facto prohibited in Ukraine, and most hot wars.

Israel is the only one performing air strikes in Gaza surely? So that's not a rationale reason for banning aerial photography here.

The obvious one is to hide the destruction of civilian areas.

By Ukraine, not by Russia. Significant difference.

There is some other aerial imagery of the march in Austrailia
