Israel this morning/Channel 14
Major General Israel Ziv threatened today (Monday) with a lawsuit against Channel 14 for "intentionally misleading advertising".
This, after during the "Riklin & Co." program, panel member attorney Yamit Yanai Melol claimed that on October 7th, at midnight, 1,000 Nochava terrorists inserted Israeli SIM cards into their mobile devices. According to Melol, Israel Ziv confirmed this at a conference about a month ago, And even claimed that the Chief of Staff knew about the incident, and that the political echelon was not informed.
This, as part of the attempts by the channel, which is known to be affiliated with Prime Minister Netanyahu, to show that the military echelon was aware of preliminary signs of the Hamas attack on the night of the attack, and that the political echelon was only informed after the attack began.
In the broadcast, Malol and host Riklin wondered how this publication was not being investigated, while at the same time "we are dealing with Brigadier General Barak Hiram, who ordered to fire or not to fire a shell at a house in Bari where hostages were being held."

Ziv sent a letter through his lawyer to the channel's CEO, moderator Riklin and attorney Malol, in which he demanded that the channel publish an unequivocal clarification.
"This statement is untrue to say the least, and attributes to Amira's clients regarding informing the Chief of Staff or the political echelon of the event of the roaming and entry of mobile phone signals of the Nohva terrorists into the Israeli network, when the facts are completely different," the letter sent on behalf of Ziv reads. Because my client never referred to the information of the Chief of Staff or the information of the political echelon, and hence the statement attributed to him lacks any basis is incorrect and misleading. This is a publication that is characterized by an extremely untrue description within the program, which does an injustice to my client by attributing to him a statement that was not made at all, and relies on a statement that was not It was said about the transfer of information, with the intention of attributing information to the Chief of Staff, and all this while this allegation for the transfer of information did not happen and was not in the knowledge of my client and was not said anyway."
