In memory of Binyahu Malet: Channel 14 correspondent dedicates documentary to terror victim

The severe terror attack in the village of Tell in Samaria has brought immense pain to the people of Israel, but for Channel 14 correspondent Elia Aviv, it is a painful personal loss of a close partner. Binyahu Malet, may God avenge his blood, who was murdered in the attack alongside artillery officer Yuval Ezra, of blessed memory, was an energetic activist who dedicated his time and energy to raising public awareness about the dangerous buildup of the Palestinian Authority's security forces and Fatah.

In recent months, Aviv and Malet worked together on a comprehensive documentary series dealing with this very subject. Just a month ago, Malet appeared on Channel 14, speaking with conviction about the dangers lurking behind the scenes. Those who knew him testify that the subject burned in his bones and he saw the dissemination of the truth as a national mission of the highest order.

The reality of the situation became clear on Saturday night, when the Fatah movement of Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) issued an official statement claiming full responsibility for the attack and labeling the murderers as "our martyrs." With a cruel irony of fate, Binyahu's life work — his constant warnings against the Palestinian Authority — met with a tragic reality, as the terrorists who cut short his life and that of officer Yuval Ezra were the very PA militants he had repeatedly warned about.

In response to this tragedy, Elia Aviv and lead documentary editor Hagai Siman-Tov have decided to dedicate the entire series of films regarding the Palestinian Authority to the memory of Binyahu Malet. The editorial staff is committed to continuing his path, raising public and security awareness, and ensuring that Binyahu's struggle was not in vain. May his memory be blessed.
