Israel Frees From Custody Almost All Suspects in Two Settler Attacks, Puts Them Under House Arrest
- On Wednesday, a Jerusalem District Court released nine of 10 suspects to house arrest, despite police requests to extend detention following attacks on Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine and European diplomats.
- International pressure from the United States, France, Belgium, and Poland prompted the joint detention operation by police, the military, and the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency.
- Citing "in the midst of a much larger event of massive stone-throwing" by Palestinians, the judge justified the releases; Right-wing law firm Honenu called the arrests "staged and baseless."
- Nadav Cohen Tzemach remains the only suspect in custody after the court extended his detention until Monday, regarding accusations he ran over a Palestinian near Ramallah last year.
- Yonatan Kanonich, head of research at Israeli rights group Yesh Din, noted police often arrest settlers following media coverage, only to release them shortly afterward, amid 125 attacks during the harvest.
