‘People Died 100 Feet Inside Bunkers’: Indian Journalist Back from Israel Exposes Information Blackout
By TRH World Desk
New Delhi, March 7, 2026 — Indian journalist Braj Mohan Singh has returned from Israel with a ground-level account that sharply contradicts official narratives — and he is not holding back.
In a video statement that has circulated rapidly on social media, Singh described conditions on the ground that Israeli authorities, in his telling, have gone to considerable lengths to conceal from the outside world.
The most striking disclosure concerns Israel’s vaunted civil defence infrastructure. “People say bunkers are very good,” Singh said, adding: “We saw people die 100 feet deep inside a bunker — and you are not being told about this. What is the reality? Because nobody is telling us.”
Singh’s account directly challenges the assumption that deep-shelter infrastructure provides reliable protection against the scale and precision of current Iranian missile strikes.
Singh also described a disturbing breakdown in Israel’s early-warning systems. He recalled a morning at 5 a.m. when missiles struck without any siren alert — no alarm, no warning, just the sound of impacts. “Technology has failed,” he said plainly, adding: “Things are arriving without alarms.”
He added that Iranian drones and missiles, when they lock onto a target, leave almost no reaction time — noting that one strike landed roughly 200 metres from his own position.
Israeli Government Blocking Journalists, Hiding the Dead
Singh was equally direct about the information environment. “You cannot take visuals there. You cannot go to hospitals where bodies are. When an incident happens, we don’t even know the location — because who is going to tell us,” he said.
He pointed to a specific incident where official sources reported only one casualty — while a local resident told him four houses in the area had been completely destroyed, with nobody surviving. “This tells you it was a big incident,” Singh said.
Singh reserved particular criticism for what he described as an information vacuum being allowed to persist. When a bomb explodes, he noted, it does not distinguish between an Indian and an Israeli. “You might survive a bullet wound. You will not survive this.”
His account raises uncomfortable questions about the reliability of official Israeli casualty figures — and about the access being extended to international media covering one of the world’s most closely watched conflicts.
