A kindergarten teacher and four assistants have been arrested in Ashkelon on suspicion of assaulting toddlers aged one to three at two private kindergartens operating under the same management. The arrests followed a complaint received this week, which indicated a pattern of alleged violent conduct by the staff towards the young children.

The police stated that they are investigating the matter seriously and will act with zero tolerance for any violence against helpless children. In the coming days, investigators plan to summon the parents of the toddlers identified as potential victims to take their statements and further clarify the circumstances of the incidents.
