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.
