The Magistrate and District Courts in Tel Aviv ordered the release on bail of an 18-year-old young man, Sheba from Kalkilia, after a commando knife and a long folding knife were seized during a search of his possessions.
According to the indictment and the request for detention until the end of the proceedings, last Tuesday police officers spotted the defendant in the South Tel Aviv area, the police ordered him to stop and a commando knife and a 22 cm folding knife were found in his possession.
Also, two cutters of different sizes and observation binoculars were found.
During his arrest, he cursed the police officers, said he would attack them and resisted arrest.
At the end of the week, a hearing was held on the request of the prosecution unit of Tel Aviv, to extend the arrest of the accused until the end of the proceedings.
At the court hearing, the police representative repeated his words, and stated that in his interrogation the young man stated that the knives were for peeling fruit, but he did not have any fruit in his knife and the cutters were for cutting a fence.
Despite what the police said, Judge Anat Yahav ordered the release of the young man on a personal bond of ten thousand shekels, a cash deposit of 7,000 shekels and a third party bond of 8,000 shekels and ordered that the next hearing will be at the end of September this year.
The police did not give up, and appealed the decision to the district court.
Judge Yossi Topf rejected the police's appeal, noting in his decision that the fear that the defendant intended to harm others was not expressed in the indictment and there is no evidentiary indication of this.
