Beersheba Deputy Mayor Shimon Tovol is leaving the Degel HaTorah faction and joining the Noam party, led by MK Avi Maoz, according to Yishai Cohen. Tovol will be placed on Noam's list for the upcoming Knesset elections. The political move comes hours after the State Prosecution announced its decision to file an indictment against Tovol on suspicion of assaulting young Bedouins while wearing a uniform. This is Tovol's second indictment in recent weeks; as The Zioneer reported on Tuesday, he was indicted for assaulting gas station workers during reserve duty and brandishing his weapon. Tovol has not yet responded to the latest allegations.
