According to the outlet, one of the three cops lived nearby. The officers did not present them with a warrant, and so the three asked them to leave. The officers initially complied, but later that night arrived with backup.<\/p>\n
Once the prosecutor caught a glimpse of a large group of police officers wearing helmets and masks outside the building, he called the police. The dispatcher instructed him not to open the door, but the officers soon burst into the house and violently detained the three, according to Haaretz.<\/p>\n
\t The government prosecutor described the brutal arrest he experienced during his testimony in court, Haaretz reported.<\/p>\n \u201cThey stomped on my head, kicked me, told me that I\u2019m \u2018resisting arrest\u2019 and cursed me. During the entire ride, they hit me and treated me like the worst of the criminals,\u201d he said, noting that he appears in court each morning as part of his job. \u201cI didn\u2019t believe that police could do such things.\u201d<\/p>\n The prosecutor\u2019s father, Khalil Na\u2019ameh, told the Nazareth-based Nas Radio station that police continued to beat his son in the car and at the station while their body cameras were turned off.<\/p>\n Police claimed that the lawyer and his two relatives attacked the officers first while they tried to deal with the noise complaint.<\/p>\n \u201cThe three men in the house started to lash out at them, resist their actions and push them, while refusing to obey officers\u2019 instructions,\u201d police said in a statement. \u201cAt a certain point\u2026 the officers were attacked by the suspects, and additional police forces were called to the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n The three men were in custody for three days on suspicion of attacking police officers, Haaretz reported. While the Beersheba Magistrate\u2019s Court ruled there was reasonable suspicion that they had used violence against the officers, it noted the prosecutor was also seriously injured.<\/p>\n According to Haaretz, the incident strained relations between the police and the Southern District Attorney\u2019s Office, whose employees believe their coworker\u2019s version of events.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is the last person you would think would behave violently,\u201d said a Southern District prosecutor to Haaretz. \u201cA man who is always proud to represent the country and be part of the State Attorney\u2019s Office.\u201d<\/p>\n The prosecutor\u2019s father said the family plans to continue to pursue legal action against the officers who came to the house that night.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you know what a source of pride it was to see my son\u2019s name representing the State of Israel on the first indictment he filed? And now to see the police officers who work with him every day beating him, it was shattering,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n MK Gilad Kariv of the left-wing Democrats party called on the police officers involved to be suspended.<\/p>\n \u201cNo citizen should look like this after an encounter with police,\u201d he posted on X. \u201cEspecially when it comes to entering a private home without a warrant. Especially when it comes to a lawyer and public servant.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cMore and more parts of the Israel Police are turning into a danger to the public instead of protecting it.\u201d He blamed far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who oversees the police, for encouraging a \u201cracist and violent spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n \t Several DIPI investigations have been opened in recent months against police officers suspected of violence against Arab Israelis.<\/p>\n In one case from January, investigators launched a probe into several officers on suspicion of shooting a man dead during a midnight raid in Tarabin al-Sana, then destroying the evidence. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n Another investigation deals with four National Guard officers suspected of assaulting a pair of Bedouin men during a random search in Tel Sheva.<\/a><\/p>\n Several DIPI investigations have been opened in recent months against police officers suspected of violence against Arab Israelis.<\/p>\n In one case from January, investigators launched a probe into several officers on suspicion of shooting a man dead during a midnight raid in Tarabin al-Sana, then destroying the evidence.
