Police Commissioner Danny Levi said he views the smashing of the N12 building entrance door with great severity and that police will use all available means to locate the perpetrator, according to reports.
Police Commissioner Danny Levi responded Tuesday morning to the smashing of the entrance door of the N12 (Channel 12) building, stating he views the incident "with great severity" and that police will use "all means" to locate the perpetrator. The statement came hours after the door was smashed overnight, and after President Isaac Herzog had spoken with the commissioner earlier in the morning, calling for zero tolerance.
The Zioneer reported on the incident at 10:19 a.m. Jerusalem time Tuesday, when footage of the damaged door circulated on social media. Shortly thereafter, President Herzog contacted Commissioner Levi, calling the violence "unacceptable" and demanding "zero tolerance" for such acts. The commissioner initially pledged an urgent discussion on the matter. By the time of the latest reports, Levi had issued a personal statement vowing to use all available means to find the perpetrator.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Commissioner Levi's stance on attacks on media. On July 23, Levi said police "will not tolerate any harm to journalists or media organizations." The IDF has also called for decisive action against such phenomena. The incident is part of a pattern of harassment against Channel 12, which has faced death threats and a previous attack, as reported by The Zioneer.
The perpetrator remains unidentified. The investigation is ongoing, and police have not released any suspect descriptions or motives.
