A message circulating online accuses former OC Central Command Avi Mizrahi of having lied about the 2011 murder of Asher Palmer and his son Yonatan, initially reported as a car accident. The message cites a statement by former Yesha Council head Danny Dayan, who criticized the IDF's handling of the incident.
A message circulating online has revived an old accusation against former OC Central Command Avi Mizrahi, alleging that he misled the public about the 2011 terror attack that killed Asher Palmer and his son Yonatan. The attack was initially reported by the IDF as a car accident before being confirmed as a terror attack. The message quotes Danny Dayan, then head of the Yesha Council, saying: "There is no other way to say it: the IDF did not tell the truth to the public, did not tell the truth to the media, and did not tell the truth to the bereaved family." Dayan also said that the military's statements were "misleading, incorrect, and at best a half-truth." The message further claims that Dayan told Mizrahi directly that "there is nothing worse and more inflammatory than the feeling that the truth is being hidden." The allegations are unverified and the source of the message is a single individual.
