A judge has ordered the release of a security officer from the Samaria region to house arrest, rejecting the prosecution's request to extend his detention by eight days. The officer, held at a Shin Bet facility, will be under house arrest for seven days. The prosecution announced its intention to file a request to delay the implementation of the decision.
The security officer is suspected, along with another individual already released to house arrest, of involvement in a violent incident against Palestinians that occurred approximately one month ago near the village of Akarba in Samaria. The arrests are part of a joint investigation by the Shin Bet, the inter-organizational command in the Judea and Samaria (Shai) district focusing on suspicions of extreme Jewish violence against Palestinians, and the Military Police. The suspect's lawyer, Nati Rom, welcomed the decision, calling it "the expected decision to release the detainee to house arrest" and praising the court for ending the "hero of Israel's" difficult detention conditions.
Member of Knesset Limor Son Har Melech of the Otzma Yehudit party, who was present at the hearing, stated that the court found no reason for the continued detention and ordered his release to house arrest. She emphasized that the suspect is a "hero of Israel" who dedicated his life to protecting Israelis and residents of Samaria, and demanded his immediate release to be with his family.
