The shooting in the Erez battalion of the military police: the military court approved revealing the name of the private who is suspected of firing a bullet in the Anatot camp • His lawyers: "He is in a serious mental state"


It was allowed to be published:

Private Binyamin Pentihu is the suspect who caused the death of his friend, the late Corporal Baruch Kabrata, in the Erez Battalion of the Military Police Corps.

His defense attorneys stated that "the disaster occurred while he was trying to operate a safety malfunction in the weapon."

The tragic case happened about a week ago, and the hearing in Pentiahu's case took place today (Tuesday) at the military court.

From a preliminary investigation of the case, the late Kabrata was killed by a bullet in one of the soldiers' rooms in the Anatot camp. His relative told Israel Hayom: "We are sure that the soldier Shira did not do it on purpose.

We understand that he is also poor."

The soldier's defense attorneys, on behalf of the military defense, said that "since the disaster, the soldier has been in a difficult state of mind. Despite this, he cooperates fully with the Ministry of Defense investigation, recounted in detail everything that happened and performed reconstruction at the scene. From the details provided by the soldier, it appears that he was not playing with the weapon and that tragically, the disaster occurred while he was trying to operate a safety malfunction in the weapon. As part of taking responsibility, the soldier asked to remove the publication ban on his identifying information."
