Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, the Zionist government’s chief of the common staff, criticized the protest ‘ steps, describing them as” severe, unlawful actions bordering on anarchy”.
The protests started when the Israeli government announced an investigation into the Sde Teiman facility’s” suspected serious abuse of a detainee.” At least nine defendants were detained for questioning, sparking uproar among some parts of the Jewish people. The IDF did not respond to requests for more information right away because the allegations of abuse are still undetermined.
In a speech, Israel Police emphasized their efforts to enforce “law and get appropriately, while allowing the liberty of presentation and rally”.
