| [IsraelTimes] A woman has been remanded in jug for allegedly assaulting Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman earlier today at a shopping center in the central city of Rehovot. Yarden Mann, a known activist in the anti-judicial overhaul protest movement, is suspected of threatening the Likud party minister and slapping her in the face, according to police. The Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court has extended Mann’s remand for five days. Police tell the court that Mann began to film the minister, teasing her and threatening to hurt her, citing footage and eyewitness testimony as evidence. "The minister asked why she was speaking to her that way, and then [Mann] allegedly attacked her by knocking her cellphone out of her hand with which she was taking pictures of the suspect, and then slapped her in the face," police say. Mann denies she attacked Silman, with her lawyer presenting CCTV footage showing them filming each other with no attack seen.
