Five Yasam officers are being investigated by the Police Investigations Department (MAHAש) on suspicion of assaulting a man on a beach in Eilat and abandoning him without medical attention. The incident reportedly occurred several days ago, according to N12 News. The investigation was initiated after two women reported being harassed by a stranger on the street. Responding officers located and detained the suspect. Surveillance footage, as reported by Kikar HaShabbat, appears to show the handcuffed man being led toward a police vehicle. Police maintain that the man was brought to the vehicle and released after a brief discussion. An initial internal police review reportedly did not substantiate the accusations against the Yasam officers, leading to the case being transferred to MAHAש.
