The Israel Police said, Sunday, "We will never accept a situation of assaulting policemen and we will act with severity and zero tolerance against anyone who raises a hand against a policeman, regardless of the origin or religion of the offender."
Responding to an incident in which Rahat Bedouin were arrested and an officer put on leave, the police continued, "The conduct of a policeman who was in the area will be examined by the Police Internal Investigations Department, and we will wait for the findings on the matter and act accordingly."
