So police were attacked by the militia of the Islamic movement in Kafr Qasem

Punches, urges, curses and strangulation – this is how police officers who arrived at the city hall in Kafr Qassem were received during an arrest operation. Documentation of the moment of the attack, in which two policemen were lightly injured, shows how members of the city’s internal security forces, belonging to the Islamic Movement, react to the policemen’s request to enter the city hall. The event joins the growing wave of violence in Arab society. Since the violent incident on Thursday, four suspects have been arrested in the attack.

Over the last few years, the Arab “police” of the Islamic Movement has become stronger. It turns out that there are police in Kafr Qassem, not the Israeli police, but “Al-Khirasa” – a security force funded by the Islamic Movement that has been operating for the past thirty years mainly through dozens of volunteers.

This is a militia for everything. They do not officially have weapons, but police sources say that some of them can be found armed with illegal weapons, roam the streets and “establish order” where the police have failed, all under the auspices and funding of the Islamic movement in front of the Israeli police.

Increased to describe this is Sergeant Dudi Levy, who told a court hearing requesting an extension of the detention of two of the attackers: Should check about certain things, probably about a message received by the Israel Police regarding fear for human life. “A kind of ‘private police’ located in Kafr Qassem, I found out about these things today,” the policeman noted, adding that two policemen came to the Kafr Qassem municipality building after receiving a report of a person being taken into the building and behaving violently. Did not behave properly so they took him to them in a non-gentle way. “
