A judge on Thursday ordered the release of a security officer from Samaria, who had been held at a Shin Bet facility, to house arrest. The judge, Dan Bowman, rejected the prosecution's request to extend his detention by eight days. The officer was arrested about a month ago along with another security coordinator from Samaria on suspicion of involvement in a violent incident near the village of Aqraba. Two days prior, one of the two detainees was released to house arrest, while the second detainee remained in Shin Bet custody under a gag order preventing contact with his lawyers, a situation that drew severe criticism from his family. Judge Bowman stated he saw no reason to continue holding the detainee at the Shin Bet facility. The prosecution intends to file a request to delay the execution of the release order. Attorney Nati Rom, representing the Honenu organization, expressed satisfaction with the decision, calling it "the expected decision" and stating, "It is very difficult to see a hero of Israel held in harsh dungeon conditions at the Shin Bet, and the court did well to put an end to it."
