What Nuclear Weapons?

In a bizarre twist of propaganda, it came out two days ago that some of the rockets fired at Israel on October 7, two months ago, landed near an Israeli nuclear weapons storage facility. Major news outlets around the world have been reporting on this story giving the location of the base as well as estimates of the number of nuclear weapons involved. Reports claim that Israel neither confirms nor denies the story.

My question is this:

Why would the world's major media outlets, habitual propagandists for all things Israel, announce to Israel's enemies the location of Israel's nuclear weapons - especially considering all the effort over the decades since the 1960's denying the existence in Israel of nuclear weapons?

This story triggers my doubt reflex. It's not that I doubt that Israel has for a very long time possessed and kept hidden from the world its nuclear weapons program. I don't doubt that for a second. I just doubt that it would be world news if the facility were targeted by Hamas considering the danger to Israel's security of revealing the site's location, unless the story is intended to smear Hamas while not in any way endangering Israel.

In other words, this makes great anti-Palestinian propaganda.

Speaking of propaganda, from reallygraceful's YouTube channel yesterday:

Israel Made Me an Offer! $$$
