The singer was brought to the Rishon Lezion police station for questioning under caution, where investigators expect him to give his formal account regarding the allegations.
According to police suspicions, the incident occurred within the context of the couple’s relationship. In her official complaint, the partner alleged that the singer had been violent toward her, threatened her, and broke windows.

A source familiar with the details told Walla that the investigation is actively centered on suspected domestic abuse.
"His partner said that he was violent toward her, threatened her and broke the windows," a source familiar with the details told Walla. "After he gives his version of the incident, they will examine whether to release him already at the station or whether he will be brought to court tomorrow for an extension of his detention."
Following his questioning under caution, police will evaluate the account provided alongside any further developments in the investigation.
Authorities will then decide whether to release the singer under conditions directly from the station or request that the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extend his detention on Sunday.
