Claim
Israeli media separately reported that army officials are angry with Israel's Shin Bet security agency for 'doing the minimum' on settler violence, accusing it of failing to provide intelligence or early warnings
Attributed to Israeli media reporting army officials
Evidence
A Times of Israel article headline directly matches the claim: 'Doing the minimum: IDF said angry at Shin Bet for not taking settler violence seriously,' with the sub-headline noting an army official told Israeli TV that Shin Bet is 'not providing us with intelligence or early warnings' and suggesting political leaders 'prefer the current situation continues.' This corroborates the exact wording and substance of the claim, attributing it to Israeli TV/army officials as reported by Times of Israel. No independent fact-checking organization (Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat, EUvsDisinfo) appears to have separately investigated or rated this specific claim, as it is a straightforward news report rather than a viral image/video claim requiring forensic verification.
Supporting sources
Assessment
The Times of Israel headline and content directly and specifically match the claim's wording, indicating it accurately reflects real reporting by an Israeli outlet citing an army official's criticism of Shin Bet, though the underlying anonymous 'army official' claim itself cannot be independently forensically verified beyond the media report.
Confidence
Some independent corroboration was found, but it isn't yet conclusive.
