Central District Police Spokesman Ami Ben-David has rejected claims made about the police during the riots in Kafr Qassem.
In a conversation with Israel Defense Forces Radio, Ben-David said: "I do not know of any other place in the country where hundreds of people storm a police station with stones, fire, and the burning of police cars. We will not treat this like business as usual. No one - neither civilian leadership nor citizens - will decide for the Israel Police if it performs a routine enforcement action or does not carry out a routine enforcement operation."
