Border Police suspend security guard after shooting incident at Palestinians • Police: "Act contrary to procedures"


R.'s weapon, Rabshakeh of the Anatot settlement, was confiscated about ten days ago after a shooting incident at the settlement fence, and Anatot residents complain that they were left without security, in the heart of a wave of terror.

The affair began about a month ago, when L. jumped on the fence of the settlement in Judea and Samaria after identifying Palestinians who tried to sabotage it. , His weapon was confiscated and he was suspended from office until the investigation is completed.

The locality accuses the Border Police that the decision to suspend R. harms their security, without worrying about another alternative, and left the locality, where 450 families live, exposed to security threats.

Dovev Peer, chairman of the settlement's security committee, attacked the decision: "Thousands of Anatot residents were left without basic security, and the level of concern in the settlement has risen sharply.

The settlement is now broken into, and someone else may pay for it with his life. "

The head of the Binyamin Regional Council, Israel Ganz, was also outraged by the decision: "It is not possible that those who trust the security of the residents, in this way, neglect them in this way.

Ganz says that the basis for this serious failure is the fact that about 13 years ago, security responsibility in localities that were defined as the Jerusalem Envelope passed to the Border Police and were removed from IDF responsibility.

The Binyamin Council notes that there are several other localities in the council in which security must be returned to the IDF.

The Israel Police responded: "As part of an ongoing investigation into the Rabshakeh case, it was decided to take his weapon, since it was used in accordance with the procedures.

It was further decided at this stage to suspend him.

At the moment, the deputy chief of staff is filling his place and working together with border forces in the sector.
