A political commentary circulating on Telegram and attributed to an anonymous poster claims that Yoav Eliasi (the Shadow) established a civilian rapid response squad in Tel Aviv after the October 7, 2023, massacre. The commentary further asserts that the political left, as part of a broader campaign against Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, leveraged its influence within the judicial system to dismantle the volunteer initiative. The Zioneer has previously reported on the 'Shadow affair,' including the suspension of Eliasi from his police role following a Haaretz investigation. The current commentary does not provide new evidence or specific sources for its allegations.
