Security guards removed a man from a Yuval Dayan concert on Monday evening after the singer identified him in the audience. The man, 50, is suspected of obsessive stalking and invasion of privacy. Dayan had previously filed a complaint against him for following her and attending her prayer services. Following the initial complaint, police investigated and released the suspect with restrictive conditions. However, he allegedly violated these conditions by attending Dayan's concert, leading to his second arrest.
During the concert, which was a fundraising event for the Michal Sela Forum, an organization fighting violence against women, Dayan pointed out the man sitting in the front row while she was performing. The suspect reportedly followed Dayan, attended her shows, filmed her, and traveled from his home to meet her at her synagogue.
In his initial interrogation, the suspect admitted to following Dayan, claiming he was an ardent fan who simply wanted to meet her. After his first release, police stated he violated the terms of his release by attending the concert despite warnings. At a hearing following his second arrest, police argued the suspect posed a danger and had quickly broken the trust placed in him.
The suspect's lawyer, Ilana Toledano, countered that Dayan is a public figure who posts on social media and compared her client's behavior to that of teenagers seeking information about their idols. She also argued the suspect did not fully understand the release conditions.
The suspect was taken for further interrogation and subsequently detained. On Tuesday, he was brought before the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court, which extended his arrest until October 21.
