Samaria Council Head Meets Detainee's Wife, Demands Release

The Head of the Samaria Regional Council, Yossi Dagan, met with C, the wife of a detained security official from the Samaria region, following which they issued a joint statement. Dagan expressed his support, stating the individual is a "valued security official" who received a brigade commendation on Rosh Hashanah and should not be held in Shin Bet facilities. He called for his immediate release.

C echoed these sentiments, asserting that her husband's detention in Shin Bet facilities is unjustified, as is the manner of his arrest. She described him as a dedicated and principled security professional who would have presented himself for questioning if requested, rather than being arrested like a terrorist at his home early in the morning. She criticized his prolonged detention in Shin Bet facilities and urged those involved to act for his release.

Dagan reinforced her statements, emphasizing that the detained individual is a security official responsible for a significant area in Samaria. He, along with representatives of the council's security officers and security department, is demanding his release from Shin Bet facilities and transfer to house arrest. Dagan highlighted the official's exemplary service, noting his involvement in numerous successful operations alongside the army and security forces, and his recent commendation. He insisted that the investigation should be conducted by military police and the police, not with methods reserved for terrorists. The council stands in solidarity with the detained official and all security personnel in the region, awaiting his release.
