Gaza spokeswoman beaten by police, as IDF Lt. Colonel hides identity

IMRA reached Debbi Rosen, who provides public relations services to Gush Katif, this morning.

Yesterday she was talking on her cellular phone with a spokesman in the Israeli Consulate in New York as she was driving and reached Kissufim Junction. She showed her ID card and the IDF Lt. Colonel who was there claimed that she was deliberately talking on her phone. She told him who she was talking with and offered to give him the phone to hear for himself.

He then asked for the ID card of her 17 year old daughter who was with her in the car. Her daughter did not have her card with her but Debbi showed the attachment to her ID car showing the details of her daughter.

The Lt. General told her that her daughter had to come with her own ID card.

Debbi turned around but then came back and asked the Lt. Colonel for his name.

He refused and Debbi said she would not move her car until he identified himself.

The police with him said that they would bring a tow truck and tow her away if she didn't move.

She pulled her car over to the side and took out her new Nikon D70 camera and started photographing the Lt. Colonel and the police told her to stop photographing and said that they would get the Lt. Colonel's name for her and she said that she wanted to get the details directly from him -- as she had given him her details.

The police threw her camera to the ground and started pushing her. When she put up her hand a policeman announced that she was "attacking a policeman" and threw her to the ground, put a knee on her and twisted her arm.
