Israel’s Channel 12 Attacked for Second Time, Journalists Receive Death Threat
A threatening letter warned that someone could die as journalists’ groups said repeated attacks show rising incitement against Israeli media.
- A masked individual shattered the front glass doors of the News 12 headquarters in Tel Aviv overnight on Tuesday, marking the second such vandalism incident at the station this month.
- The suspect left a threatening note at the scene stating, "Next time the brick will be aimed at one of your heads," following months of graffiti and hostile messages directed at News journalists.
- Security camera footage depicts the suspect hurling two bricks at the entrance before fleeing, mirroring an attack on Haaretz's Tel Aviv offices earlier this month carried out by a masked assailant.
- Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called the violence "a red line," while Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman deemed the recurring attacks "extremely serious" and demanded immediate police action.
- Chairman Gadi Eisenkot and Democrats chairman Yair Golan blamed the government for a "systematic and unrestrained campaign of incitement," while News 12 demanded the Minister of Communications cease such rhetoric.
