A court has ordered the Israel Police to pay NIS 624,000 in compensation to anti-government protesters who were subjected to strip searches, journalist Ben Caspit reported Monday. The ruling follows an earlier order of the same amount reported at 13:51 Jerusalem, which The Zioneer covered as a first award. The new development suggests either a separate group of protesters or a clarified ruling expanding the total payout. The exact nature of the first and second rulings remains to be clarified. The case relates to protests against the government's judicial overhaul that began in 2023, during which protesters alleged invasive searches by police.
