Yossi Yehoshua, a military correspondent and commentator for 'Yedioth Ahronoth', ynet, and i24NEWS, has criticized the media and former officials for their handling of sensitive security information, stating that the enemy is receiving valuable intelligence due to uncensored leaks. He argued that this practice borders on irresponsibility, especially during the current period.
Yehoshua's comments came during a debate on 103FM with Barak Sari, who presented Nir Dvori's report from Channel 12 News alleging an attempted attack in Iran before the elections. Yehoshua strongly refuted this, asserting, "There was no attempt to attack, Barak, I stand by this." He dismissed the significance of Dvori's report, noting it did not gain traction.
When Sari highlighted that Dvori made his claims on prominent media platforms, Yehoshua declared, "I don't care about the main platforms, I come and state my opinion." He used the example of a recent flight to the Iranian border, explaining that the initiative came from the Air Force and Military Intelligence (AMAN), not the political echelon. Yehoshua added that such flights are a regular operation, occurring weekly or bi-weekly, and have been ongoing since before the current period.
