The Justice Ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department indicts a police detective who allegedly assaulted a teen while evacuating an illegal outpost in the central West Bank.
Shlomi Nachman is charged with assault over the incident, which took place in December 2017.
According to the indictment, Nachman arrived at the Oz Zion outpost near the Beit El settlement with several other officers to enforce an order that declared the site a closed military zone.
When Nachman began reading reading out the military order to the complainant and another teen who were sitting inside an abandoned makeshift home on the hilltop, the boys began mocking him.
“Tell that to your grandmother,” the indictment quotes the complainant as taunting along with other “disrespectful insults.”
After Nachman finished reading the military order, he lost patience with the complainant and began beating him. The detective kneed the teen in the groin, punched him in the stomach and hurled him to the floor, inflicting a head injury.
