A report on Channel 14 states that the Channel 12 news edition hosted by Yonit Levi recorded a 9.8% rating, the lowest since June.

A report on Channel 14 details a sharp decline in the ratings of Channel 12's main news edition, hosted by Yonit Levi. According to the report, on Thursday, October 15, 2026, the edition recorded a rating of only 9.8%, the lowest in four months. The report links the decline to the 'Force 100' affair, which includes a video leaked from the Sde Teiman detention facility, presented as alleged evidence of rape and abuse by Force 100 soldiers. The video was distributed worldwide and used by Hamas and anti-Israeli organizations for propaganda. In March, the indictment against the five soldiers was dismissed. The report emphasizes that Channel 12 refused to apologize to the soldiers, and that ministers and Knesset members announced they would not be interviewed on the channel until it apologizes. The report also notes that the phrase 'Sde Teiman concentration camp' appeared more than 88,500 times on X. The report does not include Channel 12's response to the claims.
