- Levi is suspected of harassing and violating restraining orders against singer Yuval Dayan.

A Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court ordered the conditional release of Siman Tov Levi, 56, who is suspected of harassing singer Yuval Dayan and violating a previous restraining order. Judge Tzipora Giloni mandated that Levi stay at least 200 meters away from Dayan, her home, her parents' home, and her performances for 90 days. The decision was reached with the agreement of both parties after Levi had been in custody since Monday.
The case began after Dayan filed a complaint with the police. Levi is suspected of attending Dayan's performances, photographing her, and traveling to Ashdod to try and meet her at her synagogue. After his initial arrest and release with a restraining order, he allegedly appeared at another performance hours later, sat in the front row, and filmed her, leading to his re-arrest.
During Thursday's hearing, police representative Sgt. Maj. Nir Malka requested Levi's conditional release, including financial guarantees and the extended restraining order. Levi's defense attorney argued against continued detention, stating that the suspect did not understand the previous order and did not approach Dayan at the performance. She contended that the case was not progressing and there was no reason for him to remain in custody.
Judge Giloni ordered Levi's release on bail, prohibiting any direct or indirect contact with those involved in the case for 90 days. No response has yet been received from the singer's representatives.
