MK Danny Danon sharply criticized the conduct of police officers Monday morning after they entered a yeshiva in the community of Yitzhar wearing ski masks to cover their faces.
Danon, the chairman of the Knesset Committee for Children's Rights, said the action was symbolic of Defense Minister Ehud Barak's attitude towards "settlers as the enemy." He noted that the use of the masks was to prevent anyone from identifying the officers involved in the action, a clear violation of the law, and said he intends to hold a hearing on the matter.
