Glass Door at Channel 12 News Building Smashed in Overnight Attack in Tel Aviv

During the night between Saturday and Sunday, the glass door at the entrance of the building housing Channel 12's news studio in Tel Aviv was shattered. Security camera footage showed a masked suspect approaching the entrance with a white object in hand, throwing it at the glass door before fleeing the scene. Police arrived promptly and launched an investigation into the incident. It remains unclear whether the attack specifically targeted Channel 12, as the building also contains other offices.

In response, Channel 12 officials expressed shock over the escalating violence, stating they were "appalled by the violence that crossed every boundary." Channel 12 photographer Roy Castro documented the damage and posted a photo on social media, criticizing the government and police for failing to prevent such acts. He noted this was the second week of vandalism, escalating from graffiti to now breaking the door, and questioned what the next step would be.

This attack follows a series of vandalism incidents near Channel 12's Tel Aviv studios in recent months. In early June, threatening graffiti appeared, including messages accusing the station and its journalists of betrayal and promising bloodshed. In May, additional graffiti targeted the judiciary and Channel 12 with hostile slogans such as "The judicial authority for judgment or slaughter," "Sorry by Force 100 in the name of Keshet 12 traitors," and "Supreme Court enemy of the Jewish people." These incidents highlight growing tensions and hostility directed at the news outlet and related institutions.

Authorities continue to investigate the latest attack as part of a broader pattern of intimidation and vandalism against media and judicial entities in the city.
