A complaint filed Sunday with the Police Internal Affairs Department (Makhash) targets two detectives from the Kiryat Haim station over their conduct during an arrest of five young individuals. The detainees' attorneys — Sapir Buzaglo, Yaniv Zusman, and Tzion Shimon — submitted video and other documentation that they say contradicts the police account of the arrest. According to the complaint, the detectives allegedly threatened the detainees, used physical force, drew and cocked a firearm during the incident, and continued to assault them while transporting them to the station. The police have not yet issued a response to the allegations. The case adds to a series of recent police misconduct complaints in the Haifa district, though no direct link to prior incidents has been established.
