Media personality Ophira Assayag has strongly condemned the alleged abuse of infants and toddlers at a daycare center in Ariel, following the indictment of the facility's manager and two caregivers. The three are accused of over 400 instances of abuse and assault against 17 young children.
Assayag posted a video on TikTok expressing her outrage, calling the accused "Nazis" and "cruel." She stated, "For me, they are Nazis. Wicked. Cruel." She offered support to the affected children and their parents, emphasizing the betrayal of trust by placing children in what was supposed to be a safe environment.
The indictment details horrific acts attributed to the caregivers, including suffocating, restraining, and force-feeding toddlers. Some alleged incidents involved obstructing the children's airways and continuing abuse even as they struggled to breathe. Assayag questioned how such individuals could exist and expressed that the country should have been "stopped" in response to the abuse.
She directly addressed the court, demanding the maximum sentence, including imprisonment until the end of their days. The accused, identified as daycare manager Natalia Ksilavsky and caregivers Darina Khalupa and Anna Pegelski, are facing charges for over 400 incidents. The prosecution has requested that they be held in custody until the legal proceedings conclude.
