Police arrested Avraham Hadi, a Ramat Gan man in his 40s, on Thursday on suspicion of smashing the glass entrance doors of the Channel 12 News building in Tel Aviv and leaving a threatening letter.
The arrest followed a joint investigation by the Tel Aviv District Central Unit, the Shin Bet, and the Ayalon District Crime Fighting Unit. The incident occurred overnight between Monday and Tuesday, with officers discovering the smashed doors on Tuesday morning. Near the entrance, they found a threatening letter targeting media figures and public officials.
Until you apologize for the Sde Teiman affair, I am not stopping. Next time, the brick will be aimed at one of your sharks, male or female. Even an apology without sincerity is fine. Treat this letter with due gravity and complete seriousness. It would be a shame if someone ends up dying.

Treat this letter with due gravity and complete seriousness. It would be a shame if someone ends up dying," the letter stated. Hadi also listed senior figures from Israelโs defense establishment, judiciary, and media, including former Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and Supreme Court President Isaac Amit. The letter concluded with, "God's judgment will exact punishment from all of you."
Police suspect Hadi threw stones at the doors and fled after leaving the letter. This incident is the second targeting Israeli media organizations this month, with the same building's entrance doors previously smashed.
God's judgment will exact punishment from all of you.
