Primary source Internal intake · 3 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 16:16

TL;DR

Commentator Chaim Cohen reported, according to a single source, that a 'Pride' (LGBTQ+ affinity) cell has been exposed within the Shin Bet security agency. Cohen expressed hope that this cell is investigating the October 7 terrorists. The report is unverified and based on a single source.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Commentator Chaim Cohen posted on Telegram Wednesday afternoon a claim that a 'Pride' (LGBTQ+ affinity) cell has been allegedly exposed within the Shin Bet security agency. Cohen, whose channel describes him as a 'purple-hating left-wing lover,' wrote: 'I hear that a 'Pride' cell has been exposed in the Shin Bet. I very much hope they are the ones interrogating the massacre terrorists – even though the massacre terrorists might like it a lot.' The claim is unverified and originates from a single source. The Shin Bet has not commented. The Zioneer has no additional information and assesses this as an unsubstantiated allegation pending official confirmation or debunking. The broader context of the post is the ongoing public debate over the Shin Bet's handling of security threats, including its Jewish Division's recent probe of Haredi protesters, which The Zioneer previously reported.
