Following up on my reporting from the Abu Eid refugee camp in Lod, in which I referenced a video depicting police officers beating members of the Sha’aban family, who have resisted the demolition of their home in the nearby unrecognized village of Dahmash, the existence of the video has been confirmed. At a demonstration in Jaffa yesterday, MK Dov Khenin of Hadash told me he has seen the video and that it does indeed show members of the Lod police force beating the Sha’aban family and shouting “Go to Gaza!” He said he will demand that it be shown in the Knesset Interior Committee. Hopefully it will soon be available for public viewing as well.
