An urgent appeal was filed with the court on Monday demanding the release of a security coordinator and a security officer arrested in Samaria, and to allow them to meet with their lawyers. Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, strongly criticized the circumstances of the arrest, stating, "Security personnel who have saved many lives, I am certain their innocence will be proven." The appeal seeks to shorten or cancel their detention and permit immediate access to legal counsel. Dagan expressed support for the detainees, vehemently attacking the authorities' conduct. "I strongly protest the humiliating arrest. Denying a meeting with a lawyer is a draconian measure reserved for terrorists, not for those who serve and love the country," he declared. Dagan emphasized that the individuals are dedicated security personnel who have protected residents and saved numerous lives over the years. He added, "Anyone who knows them knows they are serious and responsible people, and I am confident in their innocence." Dagan also criticized the manner of the arrest, noting it occurred in their living room in front of their children, calling it a traumatic experience that should not be overlooked. He stressed that alongside investigating the suspicions, it is imperative to uphold the detainees' basic rights and their families' dignity. Lawyers Nati Rom and Assaf Gonen from the Honenu organization, representing the detainees, stated after filing the appeal, "This is an escalation in the use of draconian tools against our finest. We will fight with all the tools at our disposal, as the case is not as it appears."
