Keshet 12

Keshet 12 is an Israeli television channel that delivers news and entertainment programming to viewers across the country. Its headquarters are located in Israel, placing it within the nation's media landscape. The channel offers a mix of current affairs reports, talk shows, drama series, and other content aimed at a broad audience. As one of the prominent broadcast outlets in Israel, Keshet 12 reaches a significant portion of the viewing public through terrestrial and digital platforms. Its schedule includes both locally produced content and acquired international formats. The organisation operates under the regulatory framework governing Israeli broadcasters.

In November 2016, Keshet 12 was among two major Israeli news channels that suffered a cyberattack during a live broadcast. The intrusion lasted approximately thirty seconds and featured a clip showing Muslim holy sites, Quranic scriptures, and the audio of the Islamic call to prayer. Hackers overlaid Hebrew text that read "God is the greatest" and included references to recent wildfires that had affected Israel. The attackers claimed responsibility for the act as a protest against a proposed legislative ban on amplified Adhan recitations. The incident temporarily interrupted regular programming and drew attention to the vulnerability of media outlets to politically motivated cyber intrusions. This event remains a notable example of how cyber threats can intersect with societal debates in Israel.
