The commander of the Military Police, Brigadier General Yuval Yamin, responded this morning (Wednesday) to last night's break-in by protesters from the Jerusalem faction into his home in Ashkelon, while his family was at home.
""We will continue to enforce the law in the country and in the IDF without fear and without bias in an equal, professional and businesslike manner," Yamin wrote in a letter he sent to his subordinates.
Yamin added: "We have a moral obligation first and foremost to the dedicated and loyal IDF soldiers and, of course, to obey the law. My family and I are strong, determined, and do not shy away from bullying.".
Last night, 25 of the protesters, some minors, who invaded the courtyard in protest of the arrest of "dodging" yeshiva students were arrested.
Today, 12 of them were brought for a hearing on extending their detention, while the rest were released at night.
At the end of the hearing, the Ashkelon Magistrate's Court extended the detention of 10 suspects until tomorrow, while two minor suspects were released under restrictive conditions.
According to a report on the 'Walla' website, following last night's incident at the home of a senior military police officer, a renewed situation assessment will be held in the Operations Division in order to re-examine the threatened elements in the IDF leadership who will be required to provide close security in and around the home.
This is against the backdrop of concerns about the development of a phenomenon of violent demonstrations around the officers' homes.
A military source said that the purpose of the riots is to deter IDF commanders from fulfilling their mission.
According to the report, a professional meeting will be held with the Israel Police on the issue.
