בית המשפט הרשיע את עופר כסיף בתקיפת שוטר בנסיבות מחמירות

הערכה

A Jerusalem court has convicted Ofer Cassif of assaulting a police officer under aggravated circumstances, stemming from an incident four years ago at a protest in the southern Hebron Hills. The indictment states Cassif struck the officer's leg with his vehicle and later hit him on the head. Cassif claimed self-defense, but the court rejected that argument. The conviction carries potential prison time and political consequences for Cassif, a Knesset member from the Hadash party.
