Police suspect that Knesset Member Yitzhak Kroizer of the Otzma Yehudit party assaulted a Yasam (special patrol unit) officer, breaking his nose, during a riot two weeks ago. The incident occurred in the Mitzpe Jericho settlement, where a crowd blocked a police car, violently attacked officers, and helped a suspect in an assault on Palestinians escape. Police sources state that bodycam footage from an officer supports the suspicion that Kroizer attacked the officer. Authorities also suspect Kroizer and Itiel Neeman, CEO of the Otzma Yehudit party, aided the suspect's escape. Two officers were injured in the melee; one sustained a broken nose, and the other had a cast on his hand due to a suspected fracture. Kroizer has appealed to the Police Investigation Department, claiming the officers attacked him.
