A court has ordered the release of a security coordinator from the West Bank settlement of Shomron to seven days of house arrest, overriding the prosecution's request to extend his detention for another eight days. Judge Dan Bauman accepted the argument presented by attorney Nati Rom of the Honenu organization, stating he saw no reason for the detainee to remain in Shin Bet custody. Following the ruling, the prosecution announced its intention to file a request to delay the implementation of the decision.
Attorney Rom expressed satisfaction with the ruling, calling it a "natural decision" to release the detainee to house arrest. He described the detainee as a "hero of Israel" who was being held in "harsh dungeon conditions" by the Shin Bet, and praised the court for ending it. Member of Knesset Limor Son Har Melech from the Otzma Yehudit party was also present at the hearing, along with dozens of other security coordinators and reservist friends of the detainee.
Son Har Melech welcomed the decision, referring to the individual as a "hero of Israel" who dedicated his life to protecting the Israeli people and residents of Shomron. She asserted that he should be at home with his family, not imprisoned, and urged the district court to uphold the decision and allow his immediate release.
