'The 'Iron Swordsmen and Women's Fighters Forum', led by Col. (res.) Hanoch Dauba, filed a comprehensive complaint this week against Channel 14 and its employees for suspected serious security violations and violations of censorship regulations.
The complaint was filed with State Attorney Amit Isman, the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division of the police, Superintendent Boaz Balat, and the Chief Military Censor, Brigadier General Netanel Kola.
According to the complaint, for over two years, Channel 14 has been conducting a structured and systematic pattern of publishing sensitive and classified security information, sometimes even before military operations by the security forces have been carried out.
According to the forum, these are not accidental failures or errors, but rather a mechanism in which a serious leak of operational activities is used as a tool to generate ratings and public-political influence, while directly harming the national security of the State of Israel.
The complaint details several prominent cases that allegedly harmed state security.
""The State of Israel cannot afford a situation in which ratings considerations and proximity to centers of power outweigh the security of the fighters and the security of the state," the forum said. "The law must be equal for all. Anyone who publishes prohibited security information must be investigated and brought to justice regardless of their identity or political affiliation.".
An unusual announcement from Channel 14 stated:
""The attempts by Channel 12 representatives to contact the State Attorney to shut down Channel 14 will be of no use.
""The people of Israel remember well who harmed the fighters of the 100th Air Force and committed the most serious blood libel in the history of the State of Israel against them, and who collaborated with the leak of the moment of the attack on Iran, thereby endangering our pilot and the security of the state.".
