The settler sat under house arrest for a year - then, the prosecutor's office decided to withdraw the charge against him. The young man arrived at the scene of a demonstration held after the murder of the brothers Hillel Weigel Yaniv Hid in Hawara.
About an hour after his arrival - he was arrested by an IDF officer who claimed that he had thrown stones at Arab vehicles that had passed by earlier. The defense attorneys claimed that the evidence shows that he was not present at the time of the stone throwing.
