A Magistrate's Court in Ashkelon has extended the arrest of three childcare workers for five days as part of an investigation into allegations of violence and abuse against infants and toddlers. The workers are employed at the "Zuzu" private daycare centers in Ashkelon, which operate under a single management. The investigation began this week following a complaint that indicated violent behavior by staff members towards children aged eight months to three years in two private kindergartens in the city.
Police arrested the three workers, identified as residents of Ashkelon, along with four assistants, on suspicion of assaulting helpless minors by those in charge. The arrests followed investigative actions including evidence collection and witness testimonies that strengthened the suspicions against them. Investigators plan to contact the parents of the toddlers believed to have been harmed to gather their complaints and further clarify the circumstances of the incidents.
