Five police officers are under investigation on suspicion of kidnapping a civilian from a club in Eilat, handcuffing him, and driving him to a secluded area where they allegedly assaulted him, causing serious injuries. The incident began after the officers responded to a complaint that the civilian had harassed a woman at the club. Instead of taking him to the police station, the officers are suspected of detaining him, placing him in a vehicle, and driving him to a remote location. There, they allegedly attacked the man, leaving him injured. The officers were questioned under caution on suspicion of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and obstruction of justice. Following their interrogation, they were released to house arrest until Thursday and are prohibited from approaching police stations or contacting each other for 11 days. The investigation is being conducted by the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash).
