Rabbi Avraham Idan, leader of the Ateret HaLevi yeshiva, recounted being violently beaten by police during a demonstration in Jerusalem, despite insisting he was not participating in the protest. He described confusion at a police checkpoint, where conflicting instructions led to officers smashing his car window and forcibly removing him. Rabbi Idan alleged further violence while handcuffed, claiming an officer kneed him and insulted him. The incident, which occurred in front of his young son, has left both with lasting trauma, including physical injuries and emotional distress. Rabbi Idan is currently under house arrest, even as his son is scheduled for a circumcision ceremony.
