Police in Ariel, located in the Samaria region, arrested another employee of a private daycare center overnight for alleged abuse and neglect of helpless infants. The suspect, a local resident in her 50s, was detained for questioning after an investigation into her conduct began the previous evening following a report to the police. Investigators gathered initial evidence that solidified suspicions against her, leading to her immediate arrest. She was held in custody and is expected to appear in court later today for a hearing on a request to extend her detention. The daycare itself has already been issued a 60-day administrative closure order. This latest arrest adds to an ongoing investigation that has recently shaken the region. Just yesterday, the Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court permitted the publication of the names of three other suspects arrested in connection with the case: the daycare's manager, Natalia Kasilavsky, and two assistants, Anna Pelegsky and Drina Khalova. Investigators are examining extensive video footage from the daycare's cameras, with approximately 2,500 security videos reviewed so far. The footage reportedly suggests dozens of instances of harm to infants, including slapping, kicking, and throwing. Additionally, there is an investigation into suspicions that staff members blocked infants' airways in attempts to force them to sleep.
