A police officer from the Judea and Samaria District Police's Central Control Unit was charged with three counts of assault Monday, after video footage depicting him repeatedly kicking a young right-wing demonstrator in the stomach during a protest march near Beit-El, surfaced.


.

The indictment, handed down by the police department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, specified the officer in question, Yoav Shapiro, leapt at a teenage demonstrator running by the roadside and proceeded to beat him and punch him in the stomach repeatedly, without cause.

 

Later that day, Shapiro allegedly assaulted a young female demonstrator while she was escorted to a squad car by four fellow officers. He repeatedly beat the girl on the head, while she was restrained and unable to resist or defend herself.

 

Shapiro also allegedly assaulted a third demonstrator during this protest march, needlessly kicking him in the stomach as he was restrained by IDF soldiers and security personnel.

 

The internal affairs investigation into this case was launched by a Yesha human rights organization which file a complaint following this incidents.
