Israel In Shock: Mother of Hostage Violently Assaulted IDF Lieutenant Colonel

A shocking report has surfaced alleging that Einav Tsengaoker, a prominent activist and symbol of the hostages' protest movement, was involved in a violent assult of a Lieutenant Colonel of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The incident reportedly occurred on the day of the hostage release (October 13th) at the Re'im compound, where hostages were being received.

The alleged victim is identified as Lieutenant Colonel A., who serves as the liaison for Yaron, Matan’s father (and Ms. Tsengaoker's ex-partner). The officer was reportedly attempting to mediate between the two sides of the family. Specifically, his mission was to deliver a handwritten letter from the father to his son and to convey a request for the father to meet with Matan after the boy had first reunited with his mother. According to witnesses at the scene, the situation escalated rapidly when Ms. Tsengaoker encountered the officer. She is alleged to have violently attacked him, including slapping him. Furthermore, her daughter is also claimed to have participated in the assault. Witnesses allege that Ms. Tsengaoker cursed at the officer and threw objects at him.

Einav Tsengaoker has been a highly visible figure in Israel since her son, Matan, was abducted on October 7th. Her unyielding activism and fierce rhetoric, often directed against government officials, made her a symbol for the hostage families' struggle.

Her actions, which have included public confrontations and aggressive protests, have garnered her international attention and recognition, including a spot on the BBC's "100 Women" list for her dedication to the cause.
