On video: the shooting scene near Benjamin (use according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law)
The suspect in the shooting at the Kochav Ya'akov intersection, a 32-year-old resident of Yitzhar, was released today (Friday) to house arrest.
In his interrogation, he claimed that he felt danger and thought it was a terrorist.
"I am the right and appropriate person to handle the incident - female soldiers are unable to handle the incident," said the suspect.
The police intend to submit a request for a stay of execution of the judge's decision, and they also requested to extend his detention by a week.

"From the investigation material placed before me, it appears that the victim's behavior aroused a certain suspicion among those present at the scene," said Judge Orna Sandler at a hearing at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court.
"However, at this stage, it seems that the conduct of the person responding to the incident was also not seen as routine conduct. We are in difficult times where the level of tension in the public space is rising and sometimes this leads to unusual reactions that may endanger human life."
Attorney Ariel Atari and Attorney Nati Rom representing the suspect on behalf of the Honnu organization stated that: "This is an unfortunate case in which the attacks of the last few days caused great sensitivity, especially. The incident took place in Trampiada. Our client was convinced that this was a terrorist, due to his appearance and behavior, and he pulled out a gun and fired Only after the other put his hand in his pocket in a suspicious manner and our client was convinced that the victim was going to carry out a shooting attack. It turns out that others in Trampiada also suspected that he was a terrorist. We wish a full recovery to the victim and to all of us - quieter days."
