he turning point in the life of Tzvi Yechezkeli, head of the Arab desk at Channel 13 and a leading Arabist and documentarian known for his research on ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, was a gunshot fired at him at close range by a senior terrorist. Only by a miracle did the bullet whistle over his head.
At the time, he was the Arab-affairs reporter for Israel News 10, and before that, even as a rookie correspondent for Galei Zahal Army Radio, he’d already made a name for up-close-and-personal talks with wanted terrorists. He was so comfortably embedded within the Arab world that he decided to attend the hysteria-laced funeral of the assassinated deputy of Zakaria Zubeidi. But Yechezeli didn’t know that Zubeidi, the Jenin chief of Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades and an arch-terrorist with the blood of dozens of Israelis on his hands (he was eventually included in an amnesty deal with Israel and turned in his gun), had decided that the first Israeli journalist who came to cover the funeral would get a bullet.
