Police arrested a suspect Thursday evening in connection with the stone-throwing and threats targeting Channel 12 (N12) employees. The arrest follows a series of incidents: multiple stone-throwing attacks on news organizations earlier in the week, and a separate attack early Wednesday in which a masked individual smashed the glass entrance to Channel 12's Tel Aviv offices and left a letter threatening journalists. The Shin Bet joined the investigation due to the severity of the incidents. A gag order has been imposed on the investigation.
