Adar Gitzis is a prominent Israeli media figure specializing in law enforcement and criminal justice reporting. He currently holds dual roles as a correspondent for N12 (Channel 12 News) and Galei Tzahal (Army Radio), covering the police beat and criminal developments across Israel. His reporting often focuses on security incidents, domestic crime, and the activities of the Israel Police.

Originally from Nahariya, Gitzis began his path in public service as a 'Shinshin' (pre-military service volunteer), spending a year in the Greater Boston area as a Young Ambassador for Israel. During this time, he taught at the Solomon Schechter Day School and engaged with the American Jewish community, an experience he later documented in Israeli local media. Following his volunteer year, he returned to Israel to serve in the Israel Defense Forces, eventually transitioning into professional journalism.

As a police correspondent, Gitzis is frequently on the front lines of breaking news involving internal security. Most recently, his reporting has been central to the coverage of the June 2026 'rolling' terror attack in the Sharon region, where he provided real-time updates on the pursuit of the assailant in Tayibe and the subsequent police investigations. His work is characterized by a focus on the operational realities of Israeli security forces and the legal proceedings following major criminal and security events.

  • Sharon Region Shooting Attack: Assailant Killed, Second Suspect Arrested After Stabbing Attempt

    A gunman opened fire on civilians across several communities in Israel's Sharon region on the morning of June 7, 2026, in what security forces describe as a rolling drive-by terror attack. The assailant, identified by authorities as Amer Mender Yassin, a resident of the Arab city of Tayibe, was pursued by police and killed near a quarry at the edge of that city. A second suspect was subsequently arrested in Tayibe on suspicion of having aided the attacker — and attempted to stab detectives during the arrest. The picture is still forming, and key details remain under active investigation.
