Singer Yuval Dayan requested security remove a man from the audience during a fundraising event for the Michal Sela Forum, which combats violence against women, held at the Culture Hall in Tel Aviv. Dayan recognized the man, who was wearing a cap and sitting in the front row, as someone she suspects has been stalking and harassing her for some time. According to eyewitnesses, Dayan signaled to security during her performance and asked them to escort the man out. One witness described her as visibly upset, pointing him out sharply to the guards who then removed him. After the incident, a visibly distressed Dayan asked the audience to sing for her. Earlier on Tuesday, the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court extended the suspect's arrest by 24 hours. The suspect, a resident of central Israel, is accused of repeatedly attending Dayan's performances, documenting her, and even traveling to Ashdod to try and meet her at her synagogue. Despite a previous arrest and release with a restraining order, which he allegedly violated hours after his release by appearing at the front row of the event, the police are continuing their investigation.
