What Hadi Is Accused Of

According to the indictment, during July, in four separate incidents, Hadi threw bricks at the glass doors of Channel 12 News, the Haaretz newspaper, and the Ministry of Justice. The prosecution alleges that he intended to damage the buildings and intimidate employees because of his views regarding the judicial system and certain media outlets.

Threats Against Media Employees

In late July, according to the allegations, Hadi left a letter containing threats against employees near the door of the Channel 12 News offices, and then threw two bricks at the glass entrance door. According to the prosecution, he sought through the threats to pressure the channel's employees to apologize for reports concerning the Sde Teiman affair.

The Inscription and Attempt to Conceal Evidence

The indictment also attributes to Hadi the writing of a threatening phrase that was spray-painted in November 2025 on a wall opposite the Channel 13 News offices. Following the described acts, according to the prosecution's allegations, he threw away the clothes he had worn during the incidents in an attempt to dispose of evidence.

The Case Is Brought Before the Court

Attorney Rot Barkley Dahl of the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office filed the indictment with the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. At the same time, the prosecution filed a detention request in which it stated that the defendant's actions demonstrate a rapid and dangerous escalation. The source does not report that the court has issued a decision on this request; nor has a conviction yet been handed down.

What this means for you

The source does not state what the ruling on the merits of the case or the possible sentence will be.
