Pilot disclosure storm: Air Force commander sent letter to Military Advocate General against Almog Cohen

In depth

Air Force commander, Maj. Gen. Omer Tishler, sent a letter to the Military Advocate General, Maj. Gen. Itai Ofir, against Deputy Minister Almog Cohen. According to Arutz Sheva, the letter was sent following Cohen's publications about the son of a senior news anchor who serves as a pilot in the Air Force. According to Kikar HaShabbat, the letter was described as "unusual" and was sent on the claim that Cohen endangered an officer in a sensitive position.

According to Ynet, Chief Censor Brig. Gen. Natanel Kola spoke with Cohen and asked him to remove the post. Cohen refused, arguing that "the details had already been published earlier." According to Arutz Sheva, his attorney, Adv. Eyal Basargalik, stated that "no offense was committed" and that the information had previously been openly published by the officer's family.
