Shin Bet director David Zini ordered the promotion of an investigation into the leak of Operation "Roaring Lion" to Channel 12, moving forward despite opposition from the legal adviser, Channel 14 reports.
Shin Bet director David Zini has ordered the promotion of an investigation into the leak of Operation "Roaring Lion" to Channel 12, according to a first report by Channel 14 on Sunday evening. The move proceeds despite opposition from the legal adviser, the report says. The leak, which exposed details of the military operation, has been a source of political tension. As The Zioneer reported earlier this month, political commentator Yaakov Bardugo had publicly challenged Zini over what he described as inaction on both the leak and rising incitement. The current report suggests a shift in approach by the Shin Bet chief. No further details on the scope or timeline of the investigation are yet available.
