A threatening letter was discovered outside the offices of Israeli broadcaster N12 on Tuesday morning, with the entrance door smashed. The letter demands an apology over the Sde Teiman affair and warns: 'Next time the brick will be aimed at one of your heads. Someone will die.' The court has extended the detention of a suspect until Friday and imposed a gag order on his identity.
On Tuesday morning, the entrance door to N12's Tel Aviv offices was smashed and a threatening letter left at the scene. The letter, addressed to the news organization, demands an apology over the Sde Teiman affair and states: 'Until you apologize for the Sde Teiman affair, I will not stop. Next time the brick will be aimed at one of your heads. Someone will die.'
The contents of the letter were first reported by ynet and later confirmed by journalist Daphna Liel, who published the full text. The letter was reportedly found by staff arriving at the office.
Police arrested a suspect in connection with the incident. The Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court extended the suspect's detention until Friday and imposed a gag order on his identity, pending further investigation.
This is the second incident targeting N12's Tel Aviv office in less than a month. In July, a masked individual smashed the entrance door with a brick, prompting the network's CEO to order an immediate security reinforcement, as The Zioneer reported. The latest threat follows a broader pattern of intimidation against Israeli media outlets, including the vandalization of the Haaretz building entrance, according to i24NEWS.
