Security coordinators (Rabbashatzim) from across Israel demonstrated Sunday morning outside the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, protesting the arrest and alleged harsh detention conditions of a security official from Samaria. The protesters, represented by the Honenu organization, claim the detainee was held in a dungeon measuring approximately two meters in each dimension, describing the conditions as severe and questioning their proportionality.
In a letter sent to the Defense Minister, nearly 100 Rabbashatzim expressed strong objection to the treatment of their colleague, whom they described as being treated "like a common terrorist" despite dedicating his life to protecting residents and settlement security. They emphasized that the issue extends beyond the individual, impacting the status of civilian security personnel in settlements who bear significant responsibility.
The letter warned that "a red line has been crossed" and vowed not to remain silent. Shachar Zar, the Rabbashatz of Itamar in Samaria, echoed the sentiment, urging the Defense Minister to intervene. Yossi Dagan, Head of the Samaria Regional Council, also met with the detainee's wife, expressing support and calling for his release. Dagan further criticized the investigation methods, suggesting it should be handled by military police and civilian police rather than methods reserved for terrorists, highlighting the detainee's commendable service record.
