🗞️ Leaked body-camera footage obtained by Haaretz contradicts Israeli police claims surrounding the violent arrest of a Palestinian Israeli prosecutor in southern city of Be'er Sheva, showing officers storming his apartment, pinning him down, and “beating [him] mercilessly,” despite no visible resistance, according to his lawyers and footage.
The prosecutor was hospitalized and underwent surgery for a broken nose and serious injuries to his eye and kidneys.
The raid began after an off-duty officer living nearby filed a noise complaint, then entered the apartment without a warrant alongside two other officers.
After the family demanded they leave, police later returned with reinforcements, forced their way inside, and arrested the prosecutor along with two relatives — a doctor and nurse at Soroka Medical Center — who were also repeatedly beaten during the raid. All three were imprisoned for three days.
According to testimony, officers mocked the bleeding prosecutor during and after the beating, while Israeli police later accused the family of assaulting officers.

In just one month alone, @HonestRepCanada has launched 3 separate attacks on me because of my appearances in Canadian media. This pest of an organization does nothing but put targets on the backs of journalists & makes it a headache for media outlets to work with those journalists. Yet 🇨🇦 parliamentary committee’s platform them as some sort of good faith actor. It’s wild that an industry wide boycott and call out of this plague on our media landscape is not happening in Canada.
After life has become unbearably difficult, and the hardships we face every day have piled up, this family had no choice but to launch this campaign just to survive.
Since it was published, it has received only €334… despite the severity of their situation and their desperate need.
With your support and generous donations, you can help ease their suffering and stand by this family in their hardest moments.
Rafif’s family is pleading with you: please don’t leave them alone… contribute whatever you can and share this campaign so it may reach someone who can help.
