Haredi demonstrators from the Jerusalem faction broke into the home of a senior IDF Military Police officer in Ashkelon while his family was inside, the IDF said.
The break-in targeted the home of Lt. Col. Yuval Yamin, head of the IDF Military Police. Security forces rushed to the scene and are searching for the suspects.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir condemned the attack. “I strongly condemn the assault. Harming security personnel and their families crosses a dangerous red line,” Zamir said. “I fully back the head of the Military Police for carrying out his duties with great dedication. This is a serious incident and requires determined action by all law enforcement and security agencies to bring those involved to justice.”
