A police commander holding the rank of "Rav-Pakad" (Superintendent) serving in the Coastal District was arrested Friday on suspicion of severely assaulting his blind wife and committing multiple violent offenses. The officer is being investigated by the Police Internal Investigations Department (Mahash) for allegedly causing significant injury to his partner, abusing a helpless person, and issuing threats, as part of a complaint suggesting a prolonged pattern of abuse.
On Saturday evening, the suspect was brought before the Nazareth Magistrate's Court, where his detention was extended by four days. The court determined that the reasonable suspicion against him was high and that the danger he posed could not be mitigated by alternative measures. Mahash has reportedly accumulated evidence and testimonies that they claim substantiate and strengthen the suspicions against the police officer.
Investigators possess photographic evidence documenting injuries on the woman's body, along with two detailed testimonies from the complainant that Mahash noted are consistent. Furthermore, Mahash investigators have identified 14 witnesses to the incident, including four direct witnesses who observed the violent event.
Conversely, the commander categorically denies all allegations, asserting his innocence and presenting a completely opposing account. During the court hearing, he claimed, "I did not attack her, nor did I touch her; I was the one attacked." His attorney stated that the commander provided Mahash investigators with videos allegedly documenting his wife throwing objects at him, spitting on him, and threatening him.
