Channel 14 has called for an investigation into the leak of operational details about Operation Roaring Lion to Channel 12, demanding that those involved in suppressing the matter be exposed. The report comes amid ongoing controversy over the leak, which Shin Bet chief David Zini has reportedly moved to investigate despite legal opposition.
Channel 14 has published a new demand to investigate the leak of sensitive operational details regarding Operation Roaring Lion to Channel 12, calling for all those who allegedly covered up the matter to be exposed. The statement echoes earlier reports from recent days: on Sunday, The Zioneer reported that Shin Bet director David Zini had ordered an investigation into the leak despite opposition from the agency's legal adviser. Earlier on Monday, commentator Yaakov Bardugo alleged that the Shin Bet had not yet probed the leak despite a direct order from Prime Minister Netanyahu. The current Channel 14 post adds a further public push for accountability but does not disclose new facts about the leak itself or the investigation's status. The operation itself — a major joint US-Israel campaign against Iranian strategic assets launched in February 2026 — has been the subject of persistent controversy over pre-publication leaks to Israeli and international media.
