Original article in German

While not clear from this article, the German one mentions

According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who have now been called up as reservists. They were travelling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.

Huh, weird. I have no issues accessing it, but apparently bypass bots like 1ft.io are also blocked. It’s a big Israeli newspaper.

I got a 403 too, but I was able to access it this way.

That just gives me endless captchas :D

Oh, it's not just me? I thought maybe I was IP banned after using it too much on reddit.

Their site has become borderline unusable too, unfortunately. Oddly, it works fine for me when I connect through a VPN.

~~I think you mean 12ft. It was shut down by the ISP about a week ago.~~

Is this the same guy resurrecting 12ft? Who owned the domain?

[–] cwagner 2 points 1 year ago

I think it’s someone else doing a similar thing. I recently heard about it and with the 12ft shutdown I thought I’d try it ;)
