Former brigadier general Ofer Winter responded to Haaretz columnist Uri Misgav, who termed him 'Jewish Jihad brigade commander,' according to Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom). Winter's post, circulated by the Israel Yamin the source, continues his public pushback against Haaretz criticism.
Former brigadier general Ofer Winter responded this evening to a recent column by Haaretz writer Uri Misgav, who referred to Winter as the 'Jewish Jihad brigade commander,' according to a post by Ariel Kahana (Israel Hayom) and a separate post on the Israel Yamin the source. The specific content of Winter's response was not detailed in the circulating messages beyond the fact of the reply. Winter has previously pushed back against public criticism and coverage by Haaretz. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (18:32 Jerusalem), Winter is responding to Misgav's characterisation. The exchange remains at the level of a social media back-and-forth involving a former IDF general and a Haaretz columnist; no further official statements or broader fallout have been reported. The single-source nature of the report (via Kahana's post and its recirculation on the Israel Yamin channel) sets the confidence at Developing.
