Border Policeman indicted for beating protester during Amona evacuation
By Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondent

An indictment order was filed Thursday against Eyal Peri, a Border Police officer, for striking a protester during the evacuation of the West Bank outpost of Amona on February 1.

According to the indictment, Peri noticed Motti Yogev, a well-known right-wing activist, standing next to a group of girls who refused to leave the outpost.

Yogev allegedly asked Peri to let him try to remove the girls from the premises nonviolently, but the officer struck him with his club in the knee.

Yogev fell on the ground, and Peri pushed him again when he tried to stand up, the indictment said.

Following the incident, Yogev suffered from pain in his knee and had to undergo two operations.

Among the witnesses to the incident was MK Uri Ariel, who was present at the time the buildings were destroyed.
