01 · THE DISPATCH

Police Commissioner Danny Levi ordered Maj.-Gen. Alona Shushan, the Israel Police's human resources chief, to take forced leave pending the outcome of an investigation into her complaint of sexual harassment against Chief Superintendent Lior Avudraham, the head of the police spokesperson division, according to N12.

Commissioner Levi had previously addressed the investigation in a letter to all personnel on June 23, noting the facts were under professional examination and emphasizing the presumption of innocence.

Shushan's forced leave will last until the investigation concludes. Details of the investigation's status and timeline remain undisclosed.
