The Haaretz daily publishes the body camera footage from one of the officers involved in the violent arrest of an Arab Israeli government prosecutor last week in Beersheba.
The footage appears to contradict the police’s claim that Salah Khalil Faisal Na’ameh was violent toward the officers before they pounced on him and started beating him.
הסרטון לא משקר.
השוטרים כן שיקרו.
עשו לינץ׳ על סניגור בדירתו.
ועדיין לא נעצרו.
מדוע היועמ״שית ופרקליט המדינה לא מורים על מעצר מידי של התוקפים? https://t.co/apF3fUxxrS pic.twitter.com/u9J542CnoX— Ahmad Tibi (@Ahmad_tibi) May 8, 2026
