"I am a corona patient. I have to isolate the entire factory. I call the Ministry of Health," according to an indictment filed in court, a factory worker threatened the factory owner because he claimed the factory owed him money. After the factory owners failed to address Hapoel's threats and asked him to return the vehicle, Hapoel also burned the company's vehicle.

According to the indictment, the defendant has been working for a tree company for three years, and between him and the owner of the company there is an acquaintance under which the defendant used a vehicle belonging to the company. A little less than a month ago, tensions arose between the defendant and the owner of the company, when the defendant claimed that the company owed him a financial debt. During the correspondence, the defendant threatened to harm the complainant's assets and livelihoods, among others, the defendant wrote: "I am a corona patient. Check ... we need to get us in isolation. I call the Ministry of Health, I call the Ministry of Health. Help. "

As a result, the owner of the company asked the defendant to return the company vehicle and it decided to set fire to the vehicle. About two weeks ago, the defendant drove to a car park in Caesarea's Gold Coast parked the car in the parking lot, tried to set the car on fire, but the fire did not spread and he did not know it, leaving a message to the company owner: "Look, someone who is you, tried to assassinate me and burned my car in Caesarea's beach" . An hour later, when the defendant returned to the beach, he noticed that the vehicle had not caught fire and approached it again and ignited it, this time the vehicle was completely burnt.

The court initially asked the prosecutor's office to keep the defendant on arson and detention threats until the end of the proceedings, but finally because of the situation as well as the fact that this is a person without a criminal record, they agreed that he be released for supervised house arrest. The judge accepted the request.

"After examining the parties' arguments, I came to the conclusion that in the case in question, an alternative could be preferred over actual detention. Although the arson offense is of special severity, and with the addition of a threatening offense and the conflict is still active, it is essential to redeem a defendant from the actual detention. Multiple factors allow the preference of the alternative as stated. " First, it is a 51-year-old man with no criminal record, "the judge wrote, adding:" On the face of it, his normative course of life indicates that it is a stumbling block, not a general danger. It is the conflict that has apparently caused the respondent to deviate from the straight path, and a place where the dangerous danger is easier to blunt. "
