Shas faction chairman MK Yinon Azoulay attacked today (Wednesday) in the Knesset plenum the police violence at the 'Herzpnikim' demonstration on Highway 4 near Bnei Brak.

"I condemn all violence, but what we saw today from the police is crossing every red line. It is impossible for police to use disproportionate force against protesters," Azoulay shouted.

""The footage showing the commander of the Bnei Brak station, Lt. Col. Yuval Shavit, dragging a protester and tearing his pants, is a shocking sight that should not be allowed to pass over. All that was missing was that they be shot in the head.".

""I call on Minister Ben Gvir and Commissioner Danny Levy to intervene immediately, stop police violence and ensure that such cases do not happen again.".
