Channel 12 Entrance Door Smashed in Tel Aviv

ynet reported July 5 at 08:56 IDT that the entrance door at the Tel Aviv building housing Channel 12 News was smashed and that police opened an investigation. Israel Hayom, Maariv and Israel National News later reported the same damage, with several reports saying Channel 12 staff were shocked, the outlet was checking security cameras, and the incident followed recent graffiti and threats near the news offices. No injuries, arrests or suspect details were reported in the first accounts. Israel's public square needs firm law enforcement and responsible political speech, because journalists, voters and public institutions should be protected from intimidation while police establish the facts.
