Member of Knesset Limor Son Har Melech attended a hearing at the Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday, advocating for the immediate release of Rabbishatz Pinchas (Hassi) Ran from detention. During the proceedings, fighter Elisha Madan testified about how Ran saved his life. Son Har Melech stated that other fighters present at the hearing also owe their lives to Ran. "The fact that such a hero of Israel is behind bars is a disgrace to the State of Israel," the MK wrote. She added that she was impressed that the judge also seemed to understand there was no concern of danger or obstruction of justice, thus no justification for continued detention. "I stand by Hassi, demand his immediate release, and pray he will soon return to his family and his important mission of defending the people of Israel," she concluded.
