Erdan stands by police amid criticism over hurling of stun grenade at 9-year-old girl
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan issues a statement standing by police, which comes under his office’s jurisdiction, amid mounting public criticism over its conduct after footage showed officers hurling a stun grenade that hit a nine-year-old Mea Shearim girl in the head.
“We must remember that the state is sending Israeli policemen on life-saving missions, and I, as the minister in charge of the police, do not intend to abandon them when the criticism becomes a divisive incitement campaign,” he writes in a Facebook post.
