A court extended for three days the detention of the suspect in the threat of a toy gun on demonstrators at the boat junction last night.

Advocate Hagit Rahmani Weiss, who represents the suspect in the threats against demonstrators in Herzliya on behalf of the Public Defender's Office, responded: "The young man denies the suspicions, cooperates with the investigators and provided a version of the chain of events."

Defense counsel added: "He stressed that he had no intention of threatening or harming protesters. We are waiting for the police to check his version and he will be released soon."
