Israel and Egypt work to maintain security cooperation after border attack.

The sister of Sgt. Lia Ben Nun, a female soldier killed in a shooting attack on the Egypt border, has criticized Channel 14 for implying impropriety on the part of the male and female soldiers stationed at the targeted post. The news network's coverage of the tragedy included a discussion of the merits of mixed-gender combat units and criticism of the fact that a male and female soldier had been on duty alone at a guard post for an all-night shift. The soldiers served in the mixed-gender light infantry Bardelas and Caracal battalions tasked with guarding the border.

Tensions rise between Israel and Egypt over border incident.

Labor Party chairwoman Merav Michaeli criticized Channel 14, a right-wing news network affiliated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, for implying impropriety on the part of two Israeli soldiers who were killed on duty. The network's military correspondent, Hallel Bitton Rosen, had commented that putting a male and female soldier alone on guard duty for 12 hours at night was problematic. Michaeli also criticized ultra-Orthodox media for censoring one of the soldiers' faces in its coverage of the attack for religious reasons.
