Columnist Shimon Elkabetz sharply attacks the "Nezah" documentary and the 24 soldiers and officers interviewed in it, accusing them of slanderous and pathological lies that the IDF is committing genocide and deliberate killing. Elkabetz, who defines himself as a veteran media figure who held senior positions, emphasizes that he does not need lessons in freedom of expression, but claims the film crosses a line. He addresses Chief of Staff Zamir and Head of Military Intelligence Binder, demanding an investigation into the testimonies, noting that most of the soldiers belong to Unit 8200, which he accuses of complete failure on October 7. Elkabetz presents an ultimatum: if the soldiers are telling the truth, they should receive protection from the Military Advocate General's Corps and tell all they know; if not, they should be prosecuted for defaming the country. The column ends with a harsh condemnation of the interviewees, using strong expressions such as "mice and rats roaming in the dark."
