A violent incident happened last night (Sunday) at the studio of the Demokrat TV channel in Beit Yedioth Ahronoth: according to sources, the journalist Israel Frei "went on a rampage, shouted and cursed - until he was removed from the building by the group's security officer until further notice."
The beginning of the event was Fry's invitation to the studio following his controversial tweet about the investigation of the terrorist who wanted to carry out an attack in Tel Aviv.
According to media reports, the terrorist Mohammad Minawi said in his interrogation that "he was looking for soldiers, and he didn't find any in Jaffa - he delayed, which allowed him to be captured by the HSM fighters." Following the reports, Fry tweeted: "Look what a hero is.
He made it all the way from Nablus to Tel Aviv, and even though all the Israelis around him somehow take part in oppressing, crushing and killing his own people - he still looked for legitimate goals and avoided harming the innocent.
In a reformed world he would have received a medal."
The tweet generated a flurry of angry responses, one of which was also from Demokrat TV CEO Yaya Fink who wrote that "supporting terrorists is not my Judaism." Opposite, Frei also received responses that reinforced his words.
Following the tweet, Frei, an employee of the channel, was invited to the Demoker TV studio at Beit Yedioth Ahronoth, and since then a chain of events began that factors in the group present at the scene describe as "delusional."
"Frey went wild, shouted and cursed in front of the shocked channel employees, and in front of the guests who came to the studio," says Lavala!
Barangay is a factor present in the place.
"In addition, Frey prevented the broadcast from starting on time, while refusing to leave the studio, went to control and interrupted the broadcast of the edition with screams."
A studio employee even injured his hand due to the rampage that took place at the control.
Despite repeated requests from the channel's employees for him to calm down, Frei refused to vacate until he was finally removed from Yedioth Ahronoth by order of the security officer until further notice.
Following these events, the channel issued a notice today about its immediate suspension pending investigation.
In the message, the channel attributed the reason for this to "extreme and inappropriate statements published by the journalist on Twitter".
