Overview

• The police disciplinary tribunal convicted the officer of forcibly pulling a settler’s beard and sidelocks during the Oz Zion demolition about three years ago.
• The confrontation began after officers presented a military closed‑zone order that a resident tore up on the spot.
• The tribunal found the officer failed to report his use of force and later wrote a memorandum that he left in his office rather than submitting.
• The settler lodged a complaint with the Police Investigations Department and was represented by Honenu attorney Eladi Weizel.
• Weizel welcomed the decision and alleged a later, separate shooting of a minor on the same hill, a claim not independently corroborated in the report.
