Pikuach Nefesh rejects Shabbat
At 7:10, a religious television reporter from Channel 12 arrived at the studios in the middle of Shabbat to broadcast and comment. Was that allowed for him?
Of course not.
To clarify the question (I don't know if the questioner intended this), it should be noted that at the beginning of the attack, when all systems were in shock, the media was an intermediary between the residents and the security forces and helped them direct the forces. So while the media could have functioned without that religious reporter, it is possible that some residents actually called that reporter and that could have saved their lives. Isn't that a good enough reason to desecrate Shabbat?
No, and he didn't know that either.
