Suspects in Jericho Lookout Attack Released, Case Transferred to National Unit

Three individuals suspected of aiding a man accused of violence against Palestinians to evade police, and of assaulting officers in Mitzpe Yericho, were released from house arrest under restrictive conditions on Sunday. The case has now been transferred to the Lahav 433 unit for further investigation. This decision followed consultations involving district command staff and the Gilead region, along with investigative personnel from the region and the Judea and Samaria (Shai) district. The transfer was also prompted by a professional review and consideration for the investigation's best interests, agreeing to a request from the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Directorate. The police stated that the case transfer was possible because all necessary investigative actions had been completed by the investigating unit at the Ma'ale Adumim station, including identifying and assigning offenses to all suspects. The transfer to Lahav 433 will occur after a structured process of handing over all collected materials, including detailed reports on actions taken, documentation, and testimonies.
