Tzurit Penigstein, mother of fallen IDF soldier Maoz Penigstein, protested outside the home of Defense Minister Israel Katz on Thursday evening, demanding the release of administrative detainee Tal Yanon Dardik, according to reports. Dardik has been on hunger strike for over 25 days, according to earlier reports.
The protest outside Minister Katz's home in Kfar Ahim follows a call earlier this week by activists demanding the release of Tal Yanon Dardik, an administrative detainee who has been on hunger strike for 25 days, as reported by The Zioneer on Thursday morning. This evening, Tzurit Penigstein, whose son Maoz fell in combat, joined the protest and directly addressed the minister. "Don't hide behind anyone else," she said. "I demand that you order the release of Tal Yanon Dardik." The demonstration adds to growing public attention on Dardik's case, with multiple protests held in recent days.
