Israeli journalist ordered to pay for slander


YNet

Veteran journalist Ilana Dayan and Telad Television, a former Channel 2 franchisee, were ordered to pay NIS 300,000 (about $79,000) in damages to IDF Captain R. Tuesday, some five years after airing a show which he was the focus of.
 
In 2004, R. was charged with obstruction of justice and dead-checking in a case involving his brigade killing 13-year-old Iman al-Hams during an operation which took place near Gaza Strip's Philadelphi Route.
 
About six weeks after the incident, on the same day R. was indicted, Ilana Dayan's show, "Uvda" ("Fact") aired a special featuring evidence related to the case. R. was acquitted of all charges a year later and then-IDF Spokesperson Ruth Yaron accused Dayan of doctoring the tape heard on the show.[...]

  1. Ilana Dayan is one of a kind, a gorgeous shark-like journalist.

    Those who have never viewed her in action, must see the interview with Rav Yerachmiel Weiss, menahel of Tzirim (high school of Mercaz Harav) after the masaccre. She even had a few glistening tears in her eyes at the culmination. Check Utube or Channel 1 Israel archives.
