This altercation occurred when investigators decided to confront the two individuals, leading to a heated exchange where the Shin Bet chief&#8217;s brother attempted to maintain his lies, only to be exposed by his accomplice.In the interrogation room, Betzalel Zini, brother of David Zini, the Shin Bet chief, faced off against his partner in organized smuggling operations to Gaza, identified as Aviel Ben David. Channel 13 aired snippets of this confrontation for the first time, where Ben David confronted Zini, stating, &#8220;You saw the cigarettes once when I placed a pack as a sample in your car. You have nothing to lie about. They know everything.&#8221;Despite the evidence, Zini attempted to evade the truth and engaged in a struggle with his accomplice. The indictment reveals that Betzalel Zini is accused of organized cigarette smuggling through the Sofa crossing in exchange for money and bribes. Evidence against him includes testimonies from other defendants, including Aviel Ben David, who claimed Zini was his superior and was aware that Zini obtained permission for the entry of vehicle convoys into the Gaza Strip through his brother&#8217;s influence.Ben David also testified that Zini colluded with him to smuggle cigarettes into Gaza for financial gain. Furthermore, another defendant testified about Zini&#8217;s involvement in the smuggling operations, asserting that the brother of the Shin Bet chief facilitated the entry of smuggled goods into Gaza in exchange for money from Ben David.Additionally, the location of mobile devices during meetings corroborates Ben David&#8217;s confessions against Zini in this matter. The indictment states that the defendants, along with others arrested in this case, were involved in various groups engaged in cigarette smuggling, sharing the profits among themselves.This operation was conducted by deceiving soldiers at entry checkpoints to Gaza falsely claiming that the defendants were entering for security purposes as part of their military service. The statement also highlights that the defendants were aware that their actions constituted smuggling and violated wartime regulations in the region yet they proceeded with the intent of financial gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Hebrew media outlet reveals a shocking confrontation between the brother of the Shin Bet chief and his accomplice during an interrogation session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":581,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/581"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ghodsnama.com\/api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
