Member of Knesset Yitzhak Kroizer from the Otzma Yehudit party has released documentation and filed a complaint with the Police Investigations Department (Mahash) alleging he and the party's Secretary-General, Itiel Neeman, were assaulted by police officers. The incident reportedly occurred about a week and a half ago during a memorial service in Migdal Yitzhar. Kroizer claims he was attacked by officers while attempting to de-escalate a confrontation between families and police.
Kroizer and Neeman are themselves suspected of assaulting police officers and aiding in the escape of a detainee. According to police, the two were involved in a violent incident where a suspect, apprehended after fleeing a vehicle with masked individuals, escaped from a police vehicle. Two officers were injured in the altercation, one with a broken nose and the other with a suspected hand fracture. Police allege Neeman led a crowd that blocked the police vehicle, demanding the detainee's release, while Kroizer is suspected of hitting an officer. The detainee has not yet been apprehended.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir arrived at the scene and, according to police, sided with the crowd, accusing one of the officers of using violence. Following the incident, senior police officials called for Kroizer and Neeman to be investigated, with the case expected to be decided by the Attorney General.
Kroizer stated that after attempting to file his complaint at Mahash, he was informed it would not be accepted, which he attributes to a directive from the Attorney General's office. He questioned why his complaint, alleging police brutality against him, was not being processed and demanded an investigation into the matter. The police maintain their investigation is ongoing to uncover the truth and prosecute those involved.
