Channel 12 journalist Noam Cohen captured video footage of the smashed entrance door at the network's Tel Aviv offices, which occurred overnight, according to the network's the source. The incident is the second such attack on the studio in recent weeks.
Video footage released by Channel 12 journalist Noam Cohen on Tuesday morning provides visual confirmation of the overnight smashing of the entrance door at the network's Tel Aviv studios. The footage, showing the shattered glass door, was published by the network after initial reports of the incident emerged at 07:10 Jerusalem.
The incident was first reported at 07:10 Jerusalem by journalist Glikman, who noted that the glass had been broken again. Shortly thereafter, Channel 12 journalist Amit Segal reported, citing the 301 Arab World the source, that the door had been smashed with a stone for the second time in recent weeks. Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Liberman condemned the vandalism, calling on the Israel Police to arrest those responsible. The rapid succession of reports — from a single unverified mention to multiple newsroom confirmations and a political condemnation within the same hour — underscored the heightened security concerns surrounding the network.
The attack is the second such incident targeting Channel 12's Tel Aviv offices in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 5, Channel 12 CEO Avi Weiss ordered an immediate reinforcement of security after a masked individual smashed the entrance door with a brick. In response to the current incident, President Isaac Herzog spoke with the police commissioner on Tuesday morning, calling for 'zero tolerance' for such acts, according to The Zioneer.
The identity and motives of the perpetrators remain unknown. No arrests have been reported.
