Rafi Azulai, the father of Eran Azulai, who ran 12-year-old Barak Khoury to death on the eve of Yom Kippur, said this morning (Sunday) that his son is a "normative person, the salt of the earth. He is the CEO of a company, volunteers and contributes to society.

He expresses great sorrow over everything that happened and the circumstances that led to the situation. "



In an interview with 103FM, the father said that he" hopes that the aliyah will stop.

We are very sad for the dear family.

I personally have more pain for the child than for my son, but there are many circumstances, which I do not want to call mitigating. "On his son's previous convictions for drunk driving, Azoulay said:" My son has not touched drinks for six years. "

"It hurts me more on him than on my son."

He added that "the justice system should do its thing." About the Barak family, the father said: "I saw the mother talking and my heart aches with her." He said he did not get to talk to his son. "He managed to say two words to me on the phone: 'Dad, I'm very sorry.'"



Last Wednesday, on the eve of Yom Kippur, 12-year-old Barak Khoury left his family's home in Ramat Gan for his friend's house in Petah Tikva. On his way, he was fatally hit by a vehicle on Road 4 near Givat Shmuel. He was first taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, then transferred to Schneider Children's Hospital, where he was eventually pronounced dead. The offending driver, Eran Azulai, a resident of Be'er Ya'akov in his 40s, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and drunk driving.



Police said Azoulay was found drunk after undergoing an owl test and was found to have allegedly drunk twice as much as allowed. This is the third time he has been caught driving while intoxicated. In 2015 he was involved in an accident in which he was found drunk and so in 2014.

Azoulay's lawyer Advocate Khaled Svelihi said in court, during the hearing on the extension of his detention, that “the suspect in the fence is in a battle from the incident he is currently experiencing.

His heart goes out to the family of the victim of the crime and regrets the result.

Between this and determining that there is a reasonable suspicion that he has committed an offense the distance is very long. "



Justice of the Peace, Dr. Mia Roizman-Eldor, wrote in her decision that" I will already state that this is a very unfortunate case, it must be said that I have no doubt that "The suspect himself laments his results, and regrets them as he also claimed before me. At the same time, the circumstances of the incident and its results, as they appear from the material before me, cannot be ignored."
