Samaria Council Head Meets Wife of Detained Security Official, Demands Release

Yossi Dagan, Head of the Samaria Regional Council, met with the wife of a security official who has been detained by the Shin Bet. Dagan expressed his support for both the wife and her husband, demanding the official's immediate release from Shin Bet facilities.

The security official's wife, standing alongside Dagan, stated that her husband has no reason to be held by the Shin Bet and that his arrest was handled improperly. She described him as a dedicated and principled security man who would have presented himself for questioning if asked, rather than being arrested like a "terrorist" at his home early in the morning with his family. She criticized his prolonged detention in Shin Bet facilities and called on all involved parties to act in his favor.

Dagan reinforced these sentiments, stating that he, along with representatives of security coordinators and the council's security department, is demanding the release of the official, whom he described as a "terrorist" but a man in an official capacity. He called for the official to be moved to house arrest.

Based on personal and professional knowledge, Dagan asserted that the detained man is an outstanding security official who has handled dozens of incidents with the army and the security establishment, always with commendation, and even received a brigade commendation on Rosh Hashanah. Dagan insisted that the investigation should be conducted by military police and civilian police, not with methods reserved for terrorists. He affirmed the support of the entire community for the security official, whose name cannot yet be revealed, and for all security coordinators in the region, urging all systems to secure his release.
