Border Police Officer Filmed Shattering Empty Car Window in Musmus

A Border Police officer was filmed approaching a parked car belonging to a resident of the village of Musmus, Muhammad Agbariya, and smashing the passenger window. According to Agbariya, there was no interaction between him and the officer, and he was not near his vehicle at the time of the incident. Agbariya stated that he was watering trees when he was informed that his car window had been broken, and he later obtained security camera footage of the event. The video shows the officer exiting a patrol car, approaching the unoccupied vehicle, breaking the window, and then returning to the patrol car as if nothing had happened.

Agbariya told Ynet that the police did not attempt to speak with him or identify him as the owner of the car. He expressed his dismay, stating that police are meant to protect property, not damage it without reason. He emphasized that if a civilian had done this, he might have forgiven it, but that such actions by an officer are unacceptable and should not be repeated. Border Police did not respond to Ynet's request for comment.

The incident occurred on September 26, 2023.
