Channel 14 makes another blunder, and Eisenkot doesn't stay silent

Channel 14 published a teaser for a documentary series on Gadi Eisenkot, under the caption 'From the boy of Afula who reached the top of the IDF'. Eisenkot responded on his X account and clarified that he was born in Tiberias and grew up in Eilat, not in Afula. The article recalls a previous incident of the channel, where a random woman was mistakenly identified as former Prisons Service Commissioner Kafit Tomer-Yerushalmi.

Channel 14 published a teaser for a new documentary series on the chairman of the 'Yashar!' party, Gadi Eisenkot, who is running for Prime Minister. The teaser described him as 'the boy from Afula who reached the top of the IDF'. Eisenkot did not stay silent and uploaded a screenshot of the teaser to his X account, clarifying that he loves Afula but was born in Tiberias and grew up in Eilat. 'You haven't even broadcast a minute of the "investigation" and here is the first lie,' he wrote. The article on Walla recalls a previous incident of the channel from last month, where it published 'exclusive footage' of former Military Advocate General Kafit Tomer-Yerushalmi, but in fact the reporter approached a random woman on the street. Even after the error was brought to the channel's attention, the article was not taken down for a long time.
