The Justice Ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department has decided that officers who injured anti-Netanyahu protesters while operating water cannons won’t be investigated as criminal suspects, Channel 12 news reports.

A protester filed a complaint with PIID after he was struck in the face by a high-powered burst of water fired from one of the cannons during a protest outside the Prime Minister’s Residence in Jerusalem in July, knocking him to the ground and injuring him.
