An Israeli man who tried to shake hands with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a rally was knocked to the ground by a secret service agent. The guard spotted a rolled newspaper in the man’s hand and suspected it concealed a knife. The premier said he later asked to see the man, “but he was unconscious” and was “being treated and taken away.” Witnesses said the man had been kicked repeated all over his body by the agent.
