Two additional police officers have been interrogated on suspicion of involvement in the beating of a Beersheba prosecutor and his two relatives last week, the Department of Internal Police Investigations announces.
The two officers questioned today are suspected of assault and causing serious bodily harm.
The lawyer, Salah Khalil Faisal Na’ameh, who works for the Southern District Attorney’s Office, suffered a broken nose, injuries to one of his eyes and both kidneys in the alleged beating, in which police had been responding to a noise complaint from the home.
Police accused Na’ameh and his two relatives, who both work in medicine, of assaulting officers who arrived at the apartment, but he and his coworkers rejected the police’s version of events.
Both officers have been barred from setting foot in police facilities for five days and from contacting others involved in the case.
The ongoing probe is being conducted by the Department of Internal Police Investigations, a State Attorney’s Office agency that probes police on criminal suspicions.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
