Amir Alkirnawi, a 39-year-old resident of Rahat, is the suspect in the stampede attack in Be'er Sheva - this was allowed to be published today (Friday).
His detention was extended until Thursday.
According to him, he had a breakdown in the car and therefore hit the young man.
If so, the police suspect that the stampede was intentional and the suspicion of a nationalist background is being investigated.
In the incident that took place yesterday, an 18-year-old pedestrian was slightly injured after being run over on Ilan Ramon Street in Be'er Sheva, near the Air Force Technical School.
The offending driver is seen racing his vehicle towards the young man, a cadet wearing an Air Force uniform, and runs him over.
Police forces of the Negev region under the command of the Rahat station commander raided the house of the predatory driver.
"There was a breakdown in the car."

MDA medics Lior Paz and Ron-El Israeli said: "When we arrived, we saw the wounded man lying fully conscious and suffering from damage to his limbs.
We were told that he was hit by a vehicle that went onto the sidewalk.
We gave him medical treatment that included dressings and immobilization and evacuated him to the hospital in moderate condition."
The speeding driver posted a video on TikTok, in which he claims to have filed a complaint with the police a few days ago after a confrontation in Be'er Sheva in which he said racist words were thrown at him. He made implicit threats in the video. "The police doesn't do the job.
we will do.
Addressing you Bedouins, you must be ready for any moment, for any threat," he said. "Let everyone take care of themselves.
We are here in this racist country.
We are threatened.
Everyone will take care of themselves.
will protect himself.
A man who threatens you with murder, a terrorist, a Palestinian, we will get you out of Beer Sheva, that's what they tell me.
And the police are questioning me as if I attacked him.
And they released him and kept me away from Be'er Sheva."
