An Israeli TV presenter has come under criticism after being filmed blowing up a building in Lebanon during a broadcast.
Danny Kushmaro, a news presenter on Channel 12, was shown wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet while a soldier instructed him on how to detonate an explosive device.
A soldier told Kushmaro that a nearby building had been used to launch rockets into northern Israel. After a countdown, the journalist then pressed the detonator button, destroying the building.
The incident drew condemnation on social media, with many calling it a violation of journalistic ethics.

He's one of the good ones, so he's blowing up other people instead of getting blown up himself.

He should face execution instead of mere criticism
