Security camera footage published by the channel shows a masked individual throwing a brick at the glass entrance of the News 12 (Channel 12) building in Tel Aviv, shattering it, before fleeing. The incident occurred earlier this morning, according to reports.
Surveillance footage released by Channel 12 around Sunday morning confirms the earlier reported incident at its Tel Aviv headquarters, showing a masked individual throwing a brick at the glass entrance, shattering it, and fleeing. The video, which The Zioneer first reported at 09:21 based on the initial report, aligns with the sequence of events broadcast by the channel — no additional escalation or injuries have been reported. As noted by police earlier, the investigation is ongoing.
The thread began at 08:06 Jerusalem, when staff arriving at Channel 12's newsroom found the entrance doors smashed, with initial reports attributing the damage to vandalism and linking it to graffiti sprayed against the channel last week amid political tensions over media leaks. By the same timestamp, police confirmed they were investigating, describing the incident as a targeted act and adding that the motive remained unclear. By 09:21, video documentation had emerged, corroborating the earlier reports of a masked individual and a brick.
The incident follows a period of heightened political tension surrounding media leaks, as The Zioneer reported on July 2 in the context of graffiti against the channel. No perpetrator has been identified or apprehended as of 10:06 Jerusalem.
