Party Claims Men Tracked, Attempted to Enter Leader Ofer Winter's Home
The "Am Israel" party claims that three men in a car with tinted windows followed party chairman and retired Brigadier General Ofer Winter to his home last week. According to the party's statement, the men waited outside his residence for over an hour, apparently intending to enter the rear parking area once they believed the house was empty.
One of Winter's daughters encountered the men when they attempted to access the parking area, became frightened, and alerted the police. Winter, who was nearby, was informed of the incident, located the suspicious vehicle as it attempted to leave the settlement, and filmed its occupants. The party stated the men identified themselves as media personnel after being caught but presented no credentials.
"Am Israel" issued a strong condemnation of the incident, calling it a "crossing of red lines." The party declared, "'Am Israel' strongly condemns any attempt at intimidation and intrusion into the private space of any of the list's members and their families. We will not tolerate threats, surveillance, and bullying, and certainly not harm to family members."
The party alleged that the men acted like private investigators rather than journalists. The incident has led to an official police complaint.
