Police announce that they have arrested a man for smashing the glass door of Channel 12’s offices in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and leaving a note reading, “Someone will die.”

The suspect, a resident of the adjacent city of Ramat Gan, is in his 40s, police say.

The police investigation was conducted in partnership with the Shin Bet.

The attack was the second this month targeting Channel 12, and is the latest in a string of attacks against media outlets that frequently air criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
