MK Boaron Urges Shin Bet to Lead Investigation into Leak of Operation Roaring Lion
MK Avichai Boaron addressed the recent leak of details from the Israeli military operation "Roaring Lion" to Channel 12, emphasizing the severity of the breach and the need for a thorough investigation. Speaking on Channel 14's morning news program with Dana and Ron, Boaron stressed that national secrets are critical and their exposure endangers IDF soldiers and operational efforts.
Boaron called on the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to lead the inquiry, citing its unique investigative tools suited for security-related cases. He expressed concern over external pressures to transfer the investigation to the police, arguing that the Shin Bet is better equipped to handle such sensitive matters.
Highlighting the risks posed by the leak, Boaron stated, "National secrets of the State of Israel are not trivial and must not be exposed to the media in a way that endangers national interests or soldiers." He concluded by urging authorities to act decisively and quietly, saying, "Say little and do much. That is the rule."
