Police arrested a right-wing activist on Friday after he assaulted a guide from the Breaking the Silence organization who was leading a tour in the flashpoint city of Hebron. The suspect, a resident of Rosh Ha’ayin, punched a co-founder of the left-wing group, Yehuda Shaul, in the face. He was released later that day.
Breaking the Silence publishes testimony of former Israeli soldiers who report on alleged abuses by the IDF in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The organization has riled Israelis, and drawn ire from officials, who have challenged the authenticity of its mostly anonymous claims and lamented its advocacy work in the international community.
