Sub-perpendicular Ronen Avnieli, Commander of the lowlands in the police, who was documented during a heated debate with a number of residents in Lod, was a guest this morning (Friday) on a program by Judy Nir Mozes on 103FM, and commented on things. Avnieli was documented after he decided to arrest a groom whose fireworks were fired at his wedding, he was documented saying: “I do not live in Gaza, nor in Nablus. No one will shoot fireworks, no convoys, no shooting, no noise. Do you want to have a wedding? Do it properly, no something like this”.
“I certainly support both the statement and the activity, it is an intolerable situation that we can not accept in any way,” Lt. Gen. Avnieli commented on the documentation, “The guidelines on this issue are very clear. And most of the leadership rejects the fireworks and live fire at weddings in disgust. “
He also referred to the issue of deterrence: “The second part is the deterrent part, where we prepare the bride and groom and the hall owners in advance. The margin is what we saw this week in Lod – it’s an extreme case that shows our impatience for these events. Why? Because it’s dangerous, period “.
The commander of the area of humiliation commented on the change that took place in the year after Operation Wall Guard: We definitely need to act in a way that does not allow it to intensify further. ”
He even sent an implicit threat to lawbreakers: “I do not want to use the word aggressively, but it is important to say that we can take measures, to the utmost extreme. The desire is to balance motivation in the face of discourse and cooperation. Results can be achieved even before authority is exercised.”

In conclusion, Avnieli added: “I have no doubt at all about our ability to exercise authority in the best way, but that’s not what I would like to do – certainly not at first. We know how to do it, but do not want to do it.”
