Less than 24 hours after Channel 14 issued a correction for mistakenly identifying former military prosecutor Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, the channel faced another on-air blunder. During a live broadcast, presenter Dana Ron addressed a Channel 14 reporter as if he were from Channel 12, quickly correcting herself in front of viewers. This incident followed a previous embarrassment where Channel 14 aired a teaser featuring a reporter questioning a woman about the potential closure of her case, implying it was Tomer-Yerushalmi. However, many viewers pointed out that the woman was not the former military prosecutor. The channel later removed the segment that evening. These repeated mistakes have caused notable embarrassment for Channel 14.
