Channel 14 news anchor Tamir Shneid harshly attacked Channel 12 for its coverage of the shooting attack at Havat Gilad, claiming they blurred the fact that it was a terror attack. In a video posted on social media, Shneid directly criticized anchor Yonit Levi, who said in her report: 'Yuval Ezra was shot by a Palestinian at Havat Gilad.' According to him, the correct phrasing should be 'was murdered by a terrorist in an attack.' Shneid accused Channel 12 of putting 'politics above everything' and 'burying reality to serve an agenda.' The attack occurred last weekend near Havat Gilad in Samaria, when a group of Israeli hikers was attacked in the area of the village of Tel. The incident killed Yuval Ezra and Binyahu Malet, a member of Havat Gilad's security team. The IDF spokesperson stated that terrorists seized the weapon of a security officer who arrived at the scene, fired at civilians, and wounded several Israelis. Reactions online included criticism of Channel 12, with statements like 'victim blamers' and 'they are not of Israel.' The article presents a media confrontation between two channels over a security incident, using claims of political bias.
