In the documentary from Jerusalem, the girl, wearing a mask, appears to be alongside police officers, and suddenly she bursts into tears as the police stand and look to make a report. 

Police said: "Contrary to the allegations, the cops met a 13.5-year-old girl on the street wearing a mask on her face contrary to the regulations, but did not report her at all. The cops asked her to put a mask on her face and let her go. This is a false and distorted publication as part of a trend campaign currently underway against the police and police officers working for public health. "

In response to the video, and in light of the storm in recent days due to the arrests of civilians for similar cases, the Chairman of the Constitutional Committee MK Yaakov Asher (Torah Judaism) said: MK Ya'akov's constitutional committee, which is urgently discussing the committee this Wednesday on "the conduct of the police and the nature of enforcement of the Corona laws vis-à-vis children and special populations."

For discussion, the Israel Police, the Ministry of Internal Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutor's Office, the Child Peace Council and other officials will be summoned to ascertain the non-recurrence of such cases up to the level of police officer / inspector in the field, while implementing the guidelines and requirements of the law requiring discretion and publicity before enforcement. "

MK Bezalel Smutrich (right) tweeted in the Twitter account alongside the video: "Israel Police, you have an important and complex role these days and I really don't envy you. But if you use sound logic and common sense you will help civilian obedience and not harm it as in this case. A 10-year-old girl with her little brothers does not need such trauma for life. Give a mask, smile and let go. "
